Revoke n-android

I suggest to make an OS category, doing so will be more informative and precise.

  • Some devices might have two OSs at the same time, albeit some are branded forks.
  • Devices shipped with bada and EMUI may be classified under bada and Android categories)
  • Volla[1] is shipped with Android or Linux, so n-android is both compatible and incompatible at the same time for Volla, hence, both, the absense and presence of, n-android for Volla is missleading.

P.S. Marketing the opposite

It is Real Linux we want to market, not otherwise.

By having n-android tag we, in fact, marketing Android, but I don't think we should.

Assumming we have 1M devices NOT running Android and 1K devices running Android. then we market Android 1M times where it is not even a matter to consider.

  • Is the company behind Android pays pmOS to do so?
  • No.
  • Is it a sponsor of pmOS in any way?
  • No.

Then why do we provide it marketing for FREE?

Why are we marketing a brand which goes against our interest?
