Android started as trash

It started off by beating the pants off of iOS in terms of features, but was not nearly as polished.

Definitely not trash. But also not polished for the masses.

And they acquired it in the first place.

To their credit (or at least the Android team), they quickly moved it from Linux-on-a-handheld to a real thing.

Android still isn't as polished as iOS, but it's a far more capable system.

And that's good. iOS has it's place, as does Android.
