Re: Meh.
Some of you or like most of the world's population like you will not remove the pre-installed apps. In fact, the average Joes properly do not even know there are apps for productivity. Bloatware? Free Ads popup? Random App recommendation? Part of the experience.
bundled (I am sure you know most android comes with bundled bloatware right?) or not, typical user aren't going to see the differences.
The Power Droid users, on the other hand, immediately uninstall it to remove the disadvantage of unwanted pop-up, unwanted internet access, unwanted bugs, unwanted hacks, and the important of them all to 'save battery'. With a correct configured phone, it can last close to 2 days without charging, compare to those with pre-installed apps that last only maximum 8hrs without doing anything.
FACT: Apps are like software, which will use power when there are commands to be called. They can use power when clicked on, triggered and even get called passive in the background. Unwanted apps are the main reason smart phone use up their battery faster than previous bar phones.
I mean, who doesn't want to 'choose' for more battery, longer music listening, slightly longer gaming time, longer time to finish typing the email or use the last drop of battery before the gps gave up in the mountain?
Not to mention, it doesn't take a power user to uninstall an app. Go to all apps, click and hold on the app, drag it to trash, confirm uninstall, bam battery saved.
