Friday morning rant or #thingsthatmakesyougohmm

So, since yesterday i’m one year older and grumpier. This morning i’ve open my buzz timeline and found that google people, like Reto LIKED new tweetdeck client. I realize its beta, and fully support creative UI. But lets just all agree that some things UX wise should be consistent through platform and the apps.
So here my rant comment to Reto’s post
<rant>
Ok, Reto, i’m gonna call you on this one. How it exactly ROCKS ?
Let’s do little app surgery shell we ? In this case you won’t even need to cut deep.
1) Exit button, TADA - you guessed it - there ! Guess what it does ? I bet it removes alarm on UpdateService.
2) Settings are not implemented at all ??? WTF ???
3) No landscape mode
4) Non of new advocated UX patterns implemented.
5) Non of the new api ( apps to sd, cloud messaging ) are implemented.
6) Yeah, sure graphics look good.
7) Buzz integration plain sucks compare to Seesmic.

Bottom line - if you add a task killer to that thing you would have a PERFECT example how NOT TO write android app.
</rant>
PS - google team PLEASE include an action “do this and you go to the top of the list” to the framework. I don’t care what this “do this” will be. Tap on the title bar, swipe, freaking surprise me. But it should be consistent.
PSS - ORACLE sucks and L.Ellison just stole douche of the year title from Jobs hands down.
