That's the #1 Android 'community' site, the rough equivalent to this one. An active forum, but only maybe half as much as this. I wonder why that is so since obviously there far more Android users than Maemo. I can only guess it's because most Android users aren't as tech-oriented, less likely to ask questions or generally fool around with their phones.

If they were more tech-savvy so to speak, they'd probably start looking for an alternative to Android.

Android developers seem to have a fairly low tolerance for ordinary users coming to sites like xda and crying about how they want this or need that. Has to be a reasonable, well thought-out request. Can't say that I blame them. In the early days of Android you couldn't do much with it and the noise level about lacking features was pretty high.

Kinda like around here...
