Google Seeks to Dismiss Antitrust Lawsuit Over Android
Ugh!
If I'm reading this right, one of the most viscious violators of anti-trust laws, Microsoft, is suing Google for using its own apps as default and claims consumers are too ignorant to change the default apps? Is this for real?
Yes there are default programs , but there is more freedom out of the box than Android.
On my Windows laptop , or my daughters Windows Phone , I can delete or add programs/apps as much as I would like - without having to root the device.
You do not have to root your Android Phone to delete/add programs and apps. But good try on trying to spread misinformation. I have and continued to remove Chrome Web Browser on my Android Phones as I'm a Firefox user. It's easy to accomplish this feat in a matter of 2-3 minutes.
Yes there are default programs , but there is more freedom out of the box than Android.
Again, more misinformation and rumors being spread by an obvious Windows' Fan. Android is easier to work with and more intuitive to work with than Windows' mobile ...

Actually, you do in order to delete some of the bloatware that individual vendors like Samsung install. My Galaxy Note 3 has several pieces of bloat that can only be uninstalled by rooting.
I think that is where our disagreement ends. You are correct in that all Google apps can be deleted from any Android device. The problem with the apps that can't be uninstalled is not native to Android itself, but rather invented by individual manufacturers and has absolutely nothing to do with Google.

That has more to do with the Carrier than Google. Nexus devices don't have that issue. You can add/delete all you want.
