In my opinion this mentality is more helpful than spamming bug tracker with "YOU SUCK FOR NOT FIXING THIS!!111eleven!" which seems especially common with Android's bugs. I even assume that such comments actually hamper fixing of respective bugs.


Just treat it as "+1 I'm affected too". Could be written better, but it at least shows the number of people affected / annoyed by specific bug.


The problem is that nobody from google seems to read these bug reports.


No, the problem is google doesn't make enough money off android to devote more resources to the project. Droid has more technical issues (supporting more platforms) than iPhone but generates less profit. That formula inevitably leads to less development resources and a worse product.


Right, and Symbian is the best mobile platform because Nokia has invested the most 'development resources' in it.

Also if you add all the open source developers of things like the Linux kernel, Android has way more ppl working ot it compared to iOS.

Just the term 'developer resources' shows you know very little about software development.
