Now I have an android device and it is not mobile.  I will try the 5 android apps because as you now, I am a newbie too this android stuff.  The developers should consider a real ANDROID for PC, Google should scrap the Chrome OS, Android is fine and the best.

Perhaps showing operators, developers and consumers the potential of a true open market will open their minds and eyes.
