BTW – a properly designed cloud-free system should work out of the box as well. i.e. a DDVR doesn’t need to be difficult to set up. Most are, but that’s because of an excessively complicated UI and a surfeit of options, not because the technology need be hard to master.
I’m not anti-Google, but I just choose to limit my usage of their tech to CyanogenMod with minimal Google services, and to actual search which is their core market.
