    Steve needs to add this to his doc about the huge flaws in the walled
    garden which do not exist in Android (which does everything below).

    Android...
    a. Natively backs up the APK to the phone for _every_ app automatically.
    b. Backs up the APK for every app _version_ automatically (off by default).
    c. Re-installs free APKs to _any_ phone in the world (not just your ID!).
    d. If you have sdslots, you can pop it out of phone 1 & put it in phone 2.
    e. You can then re-install every app simply by tapping on the sdcard APK.
    f. Everything goes in the EXACT folder and exact position as it was before.
    g. You can list all apps & their URLs to an editable text file if desired.
    h. You can mail that list to anyone and they can install the same apps.
    i. Simply by tapping on the links because the output is a normal HTML file.
    j. If you lost an app you can get it back even if it's not on the appstore.
    k. Without _ever_ needing to create a login to any mothership account.
    l. Where Apple _inserts_ a unique tracking number into _every_ IPA on iOS!
    m. Google can't.

    All of that is _impossible_ to do on iOS and yet it's trivial for Android.

    Which ordinary people don't care about.
