It seems that Samsung is loosing market share and part of the reason is KNOX.
KNOX flies in the face of a principle benefit of Android - custom ROMs and rooting.
Android needs a way to backup Apps and App data without Rooting. That's a main reason that many want to Root. Android is famous for allowing custom ROMs. None of this is compatible with KNOX.
Its fine if they put KNOX on corporate phones, but suicide putting it on personal phones.
Next time my contract comes up for renewal, I'll be looking for something without KNOX.
Why don't phone vendors and carriers just make their skins into Apps that can be installed just like any other launcher. Custom coding a skin tends to make it hard to port updates to Android and gives performance degradation.
Seems like a simple solution.
What I would like to see is a Moto X with a removable battery and a MicroSD card.
