Android questions on superuser are getting closed as "not computer related". Examples:

 * https://superuser.com/questions/116579/does-terminal-emulator-work-the-same-as-android-debug-bridge-closed
 * https://superuser.com/questions/116960/htc-android-mail-imap-folders-not-synchronous-closed
 * https://superuser.com/questions/115514/on-demand-rtsp-to-android-closed
 * https://superuser.com/questions/114340/is-there-a-database-app-for-android-and-if-not-whats-the-problem-closed
 * https://superuser.com/questions/115739/android-mail-app-thread-vs-conversation-closed

Lots more on https://superuser.com/questions/tagged/android, almost all of them are closed as "not computer related".

The [FAQ][1] states: "Super User [...] is not about [...] cellphones or mobile devices, except smartphones such as iPhone that interface with your computer"

However:

 * Android per se is just a platform, an [operating system][2]. It's not a device.
 * [Android runs on lots of devices][3], [including netbooks][4] and even [standard x86 architectures][5] (any PC). Android is *fundamentally* different from iPhone because of this, so the same criteria for superuser questions cannot be applied.
 * Android devices *do* interface with other computers (via TCP/IP, HTTP, IMAP, and any standard protocol) just like any other computer, because *they are computers*.

Let's pick one of the closed questions: https://superuser.com/questions/116960/htc-android-mail-imap-folders-not-synchronous-closed . How is this different from a question about Thunderbird or Outlook?

Another: https://superuser.com/questions/115514/on-demand-rtsp-to-android-closed . How is it different from a question about any RTSP client/server on a PC or MAC ?

 * http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/16087/are-iphone-ipod-ipod-touch-questions-computer-related-superuser

I think either the FAQ has to be revised to be more clear about this, or the moderators need to be moderated.
