Thank you for this thread.

I use Android (4.0) daily on my HP Touchpad, just for the browser (one thing crippling the - otherwise smooth - webOS) and using it is a pain. You can do all the tasks you need, but there's no joy in using the system. For me, it kinda feels like the system is a problem, stepping between me and the app.

It is no way multitasking OS - I cannot play Youtube (music) video while doing something else - I cannot even switch to other browser's tab without killing the playback in the first one. I am never sure if I am going to lose progress on what I am currently doing when I switch to another app.

Imagine a situation when you're watching a movie in the Video player (or VLC) and a friend sends you a message over chat. You need to reply quickly, but you can be almost sure you will need to find the position in the movie again. Same situation with searching a text and receiving an e-mail. I always rather open the e-mail on my N900, just to prevent confusion.

I wish there was a an image of Plasma Active for HP Touchpad, so I could get rid of Android alltogether.
