LOL! Ain’t it the TRUTH. I had to share this with my hubs, the Tech Kahuna, who can relate, having used many of these OS’s in his day. Now who’s going to write a similar joke about “If Browsers Ran Airlines”?
To your original point, tho, YES, I think many of the HA community want the damn aids to just WORK and do what they need, effortlessly. No one wants to read a manual much less kludge together a custom solution with HA, app and device (phone, TV, laptop, other Bluetooth thingey).
Part of the problem is that the HA community is still largely on the senior side. Times are changing with younger, more tech-savvy wearers hopefully driving some market solutions.
As for Apple vs Android, I still maintain: 4 out of 5 worldwide cell phone users are Android. So having a bluetooth-compatible solution for that platform should be a YUGE market opp’y. I have to say Oticon was late to the party with a ClipOn streamer for Android (did someone say Santa is delivering them soon?).
