   Android has advantages that no other common consumer operating system has.   
   So it's good.   
      
   For example, unlike every other common consumer operating system, Android   
   *ALWAYS* automagically saves the original APK which was used to install the   
   app, no matter who or what entity had originally installed that app.   
   a. If Samsung installed that app, then Samsung's APK is always saved;   
   b. If T-Mobile installed that app, then T-Mobile's APK is always saved;   
   c. If the user installed that app, the user's APK is always saved.   
      
   That fact that the original APK is *ALWAYS* on the system can be useful.   
      
   To my knowledge, that's just one of the many things that Android does which   
   is unique to the Android operating system. No other OS does that, AFAIK.   
      
   There's more that Android does which is unique, but saving every single APK   
   on the system, no matter who installed it, is unique (AFAIK) to Android.   
      
   Is it not?
