What kind of popular software is supported by Android Particularly does Android support Mathematica Additional information Would it be beneficial to add some or all of the information found here Malformed Citation A citation under the header Released preinstalled was malformed and was affecting page rendering I replaced it with a citation needed tag including what information was in the citation in the reason parameter Whoever added that citation should probably add it again and remember to test their edits in the future Preceding unsigned comment added by A vandal broke the reference while removing a piece of text Usually pays to check the history if you come across problems Fixed now Thanks for the tip This is only the second time I ve edited an article and I was just unfamiliar with how citations work Preceding unsigned comment added by Silly criticism Software installed by users must be written in Java This provides end users with less control over their phone s functionality I m not sure if this is just very written very badly or if it is plain wrong From the perspective of an end user there is absolutely no concern of what language has been used to write some software As far as I know andoid will be the first mobile phone OS ever to allow users to replace any application even the phone number dialer So there is no point in stating that end users have less control Even if you take it from the perspective of a developer it s wrong From most known systems before android it was a common truth that Java programs have very limited access to the features of a device and that you needed some form of native machine code to access all of the funtionality Google states that they have create Java APIs that allow the developer access to all of the phones functionality and that they themselves only use those APIs I can see no real reason to disbelieve those statements Also the criticism suggests that there is less control Less than what less then where For most phones you can not write native software at all and even if you can line iPhone and SymbianOS this doesn t grant you access to all possible features It s poorly worded but there is some truth to it Not All functionality can be reproduced in the exposed Java APIs Less control is available to java apps then is available to native apps running on Android Those who have root access to Android phone perhaps because the purchased the Android dev phone are able to write native applications and deploy them to their phone that can do things that java apps using the supported platform can t Contributors will continue to improve the java API s though and Android s java platform provides for good sandboxing and permission control In my opinion the entire criticism section needs to be looked at Often times a criticism section on a Wikipedia page is added by someone who dislikes the product and presents every little problem with it as a significant criticism If nothing else the section should be renamed Restrictions as that is the header the exact same issues are listed under on the iPhone article I m going to at least be bold and do that I agree that criticisms are often presented from a bias point of view without notability but that must be addressed by removing controversial material without citation I m going to change the s
