To each whatever they feel comfortable with ...

I have an Android phone.  I don't like it.  But a phone is rather necessary.

I also have a 10 inch Android tablet.  I like what it can do, when it does it. 
What I don't like is that I'm never sure what it's doing, and I don't have a 
clue on how to figure out what it is doing.  It's main job right now is reading 
Kindle books.

Over all I don't like Android.  Nor do I know much about it, so perhaps some 
fault is mine.

I do have multiple WEENDOZE PCs, VAXs, Alphas, even an itanic.  They all seem 
much more understandable to me.  YMMV.  E-mail, c.o.v, and such ahppen on the 
WEENDOZE XP PC.

I feel that Android could be a lot better, but, that just may be me, not 
everyone.  My next Kindle reader will most likely be a WEENDOZE notebook.
