Maybe if you could explain the biggest/major issue with using Android then i could see where youre coming from, but i found it very intuitive, and obvious. Or at least, there wasnt any moment where i was thinking, "wow how do i install this? or how do i start my emulator up after ive moved games?", Everything is very point and click.
