Lack of Google's 'Facetime' version on Android.


YES I know there are 3rd party software such as Tango and Fringe for front face camera video calling on Android, but what I really miss is the idiot proof implementation of Facetime on Apple.

It just works and even at low bandwidth. My mother in Kenya has just 256kb/s broadband and yet I can Facetime with her from the UK.

It is seemlessly intergrated into the phonebook and makes life so easy for any non-techie.

WHY can't Google do the same? It would help the Android market even more?

I have not seen this mentioned for Android 3.0 either but I hold hope fro Android 3.x/4.x.

Android...lack of Enterprise security.


I have been enjoying using Android on my phone since I hacked my Windows HTC HD2 to run Android 2.2.

Now on the Nexus S with 2.3.3, however I do really miss the security I got from Windows Mobile 6.5. Why can't Android still do full encryption of the device?

Also the ability to look after what I could and could not do on the device's hardware and software through Exchange was useful, including remote wipe.

I hope Android do catch up soon and develop for the Enterprise security market soon.

If it was not for the multitude of Apps within Android I would have gone back

Even the IPhone has been sent in for FIPS 140-2 evaluation for its Cryptography.

Come on Google you are better than this.

I hope.
