an active internet connection. At least there should be a GPRS internet connection in your area, so that the device is ready to go online to suit our needs.

Sometimes slow device company issued an official version of Android your own.

Android Market is less control of the manager, sometimes there are malware.

As direct service providers, users sometimes very difficult to connect with the Google.

Sometimes there are ads: because it is easy and free, sometimes often a lot of advertising. In appearance it does not interfere with the performance of the application itself, as it sometimes is in the top or bottom of the application.

Wasteful Batteries, This is because the OS is a lot of "process" in the background causing the battery quickly drains.
