Why isn't Android more serious contender to Windows?
#7
RE: Why isn't Android more serious contender to Windows?
I guess what I'm trying to say that Android could seriously or at least semi seriously rival Windows on laptops and PCs if they gave people what they (mostly) look for in laptops and PCs, and that to me seems four things: 1. word processor, 2. 3D modeling, 3. photo editing, 4. gaming.

Now for some reason, as far as I am aware, there are only really lame word processing applications, unless you want to work on-line. I mean it seems to me that Word on Windows 95 was far greater than any of the apks for writing available for Android. So I don't get why can't they make some decent word processor for Android.

When it comes to 3D modeling there doesn't seem to be available any decent or even acceptable 3D program. There isn't even Sketchup which is owned by Google. Or someone could make Blender available for Android. Not to mention CAD programs.

There is some software available for photo editing and I guess people could go with it.

Gaming - there is, as far as I know, some popular more demanding games available like Minecraft and Fortnite, the rest would, I guess, require companies to re-program them into Android. And I don't know maybe GTA5 or RDR could not work on Android.
Then again there seem to be emulators that let people play like PS2 games on Android.

Maybe but you also have Andoid TV boxes which don't feature touchscreen and even consoles that feature Android games.
