    Daniel, I really want these editorials off Appleinsider .... and on a less Apple-centric site. I send links to your editorials to my PC/Android friends, but I wish you had a bigger voice in the tech writing world. Another great piece. 
    They are usually too long and ranty to make it onto any other site. They'd need to be heavily edited before anyone that only has a passing interest in Apple would read them right through.

    First impression — impressive design.

    Lasting impression — likely the same as always — a sub-standard experience overall, compared to iPhones.

    What is that they say? A fish doesn't know it's in water. Android users.
    Nothing wrong with being in water, especially if you're a fish!

    This alone keeps developers in the iOS business.
    I am sure the resident Google spokesperson will be all over this any moment.
    Alternative headlines:

    "Android users saves tens of millions of dollars on apps compared to iPhone users"

    "The most popular app developers, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, earn hundreds of millions of dollars on Android without charging customers a dime"

    ...am I rightly or wrongly reminded of the 'mood ring'... ? Does this also have potentially broad and obvious privacy considerations...? Liability for dating apps? I would also ask naively if we want even more people on this planet... The list goes on... There is an Apple promotion of privacy and yet announcement of apps that drill down into the most intimate and personal fundamental aspects of human biology? Does the frog boiling continue at an accelerating pace? What might result if a hack, a bug, a war or simply an EULA change launches all this into the wild?
    I'm pretty sure most people would already have much more sensitive data on their phones than when their period arrives - email/mesaging, banking, photos all come to mind. I'm not sure what you're talking about with regards to dating apps.

    About the number of people on the planet - look at countries where Apple has high market share and tell us what the natural population growth levels are. Close to zero or less I would guess.
