If you don't know how to use Android, why are you on a podcast?

That makes 0 sense.

This **** needs to be straightened out, I think I can speak for a lot of people here, we want people on Android Central that get annoyed by this constant barrage of podcast where some annoying screechy guy complains that the features make his head hurt because he cannot figure them out.

Because some people want to learn about android?
Maybe some are better then others at different apps/ features then others.
