I’ve been an Android user for just about 3 years now. In its humble beginnings, there were a lot of core features “missing” from the platform. In fact, there wasn’t even an on-screen keyboard. Since then, the Android Team has introduced a horde of new APIs granting developers access to the depths of the OS.

Nowadays, you can’t help but stumble upon tons of keyboards, Launcher replacements, and cameras. These apps help the user customize their experience to the suit their needs. Even with all of the apps available in the Android Market, there are still some aspects that users can’t change. Here are a few things I’d like to see “opened” up.

I wrote an email to webmaster@g4tv.com today.  I’m sure it’ll be read and responded to immediately.  :| To whom it may concern, I’m a big fan of Attack of the Show, and have been without it for a couple of years.  Recently, Comcast added G4 to the Digital Starter lineup and I’ve been happily watching [...]

I’ve been rocking an HTC Hero (Sprint Version) since the beginning of October ’09.  When I bought it, it was the end-all-be-all for Android phones.  While I knew that even better phones would be right around the corner, I didn’t predict the onslaught of dope phones that was to come. Less than a month after [...]
