</span>Agreed, I was not suggesting otherwise. Though certainly a<br>
significant majority of the dozen or so Android users I know require<br>
at least a couple of the google apps. They are not necessarily<br>
typical users however.<br>

For myself I wish I could justify having a second phone in order to<br>
have Ubuntu on it.<br>
