Motorola CEO Disses Open Android, Bad Apps Hinder Performance
For a little while now we at Technology Blogged been wondering whether a high profile CEO would speak up about Android and its third party app rules and one just has, in the name of Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha, who at a recent technology conference held by the Bank of America cited that third party ‘bad apps’ hinder Android handsets, and that poor quality apps available for Android also cause manufacturers devices’ performance to suffer. At the technology conference, CNET reported that Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha said;
“Anyone can put an application on the Android Marketplace … without any testing process. Seventy per cent of devices are coming back because they have downloaded a third-party application, and the effect that has on performance is vast”.
“For power consumption and CPU use, those apps are not tested. We’re beginning to understand the impact that has”.
Google’s Android platform currently allows anybody to submit an app to the marketplace without any initial testing, and currently Google doesn’t look set to throw any quality guidelines in there for quality control.
