Random Thoughts..

Either. Or.

Reading and writing Indic/Bengali is very important in my daily flow of work. And, devices which cannot render/display/print/input Indic are an extreme annoyance.

So, I figured out that I'll base the hardware purchase/refresh decision (coming up around the mid of next year) around this specific thing. If Android devices don't support Indic seamlessly out of the box, I'd rather figure out the obvious alternative for phones and tablets/slates rather than trying to read through piles of issues on the same topic around which there is no clear roadmap.
