I recently bought some Android smartphones.

Got a 10 dollar one that has Gingerbread on it and several 20 dollar phones with Kit Kat.

They came with chargers and a 4GB sd card ... not bad little toys for the giveaway price.

I’m working up a few Ham Radio type apps for them now.

All the software tools for creating apps are free.

There is a lot of fragmentation but it’s worth the hassle given the low price of entry.

I put the Hangouts Dialer app on them and they all can make and receive free phone calls using a wifi connection.... very cool! Free long distance to the US and Canada.

This is definitely one of the advantages Apple has over android. The android manufacturers to an absolutely horrible job of post-sale support. I still prefer the way my android device works as opposed to an ipad like my wife has, but I’m really disappointed in the fact that even a major company like samsung seems to make no effort to keep the device updated.
