While the author attempts to view the world as a user, I think many of his bad experiences are early adopter woes. Given that most people didn't have smart phones in those early days, I'm not sure ancient history matters.
In the long term it will be a battle between mature and slowly changing phone/tablet OSes. Apple knows this, which is why they are desperately designing watches.
It struck me as very odd to be pissed about app developers not supporting early versions of Android - all the way back to the Android 1.x to 2.x transition. Most of the early customers just stuck with the app versions that were available to them and didn't know or care about lack of back-ports.
