[QUOTE="Eric Eskam, post: 73118, member: 2124"] Re: X16 Preview Hmm, funny - I have a work-provided Android phone that has apps on it - Amazon music streaming and others - that can not be uninstalled because they are part of the base OS. Worse yet, they run in the background. Chewing up battery. I will NEVER use them, but I can't get rid of them. Unless i root my Android phone. Which, I can do the same on my iPhone - it's just called jailbraking. So let's just end the charade here - neither Android or iOS is as "open" as people are trying to make them out to be. Big surprise - they are both fostered from companies that are trying to make money. For me real value is being able to use a device and not having to think about managing it. I only got decent battery life on my Android device after I did some research, found a task manager application that will aggressively kill tasks that I will never use but can't uninstall unless I root my phone.

You can get total control over the real lock screen - if you root your phone. Big deal - I can jailbreak my iOS devices and get the same damn thing. So fell superior for being "Apple Free" - but it makes about as much sense to me as the idiotic people who boycott Walmart. And at the end of the day, companies like Behringer support the iPad first for two reasons: 1) In tablets especially, it dominates in sheer numbers 2) There are two screen resolutions and two major hardware platforms (iPad1 vs. the newer ones) they have to target The volume simply isn't there for Android tablets, and there are a plethora of hardware configurations that exponentially increase development time. I don't doubt that at some time they won't target at least one or two Android tablets like the Nexus, but I wouldn't expect it soon. They are still trying to get the firmware baked, and the PC and iOS apps feature complete.
