5 Reasons Why Phonebloks Probably Won't Work

2. CompatibilityScreen Shot 2013 09 16 At 3 00 58 Pm A lot of people complain about Android's fractured ecosystem: Not all version of android are compatible with all phones, not all apps are compatible with all version of android OR all devices, not all apps work on both phones and tablets, some apps look terrible on tablets whilst some look perfect. It's a mess, and I say that as an Android user. Fragmentation is caused, pure and simple, by drivers, and Manufacturers who are too lazy to make old hardware work with the latest software. Now imagine a manufacturer who has to come up with a different version of Android for every single possible combination of bloks. If you want to run the latest version of whatever phone you have, start learning how to code. You're on your own.
