It's all in Your Perspective View! wink
The basis of nearly every mobile device on market
today is OpenGL ES (whether it's v1.0, 1.1 or these
new v2.0 devices). Right now Mobile devices out number
computer desktops 10 to 1 and OpenGL has become the
most widely distributed API ever!

So Open Source already controls the Mobile Market
Place and spells the eventual death of proprietary
systems and devices. Because the overwhelming
potential of it's market dominance has finally been
realized and an alliance of Corporations have realized
that the battle between the few and the many will
always be won by the MANY!

That alliance is called Khronos Group and is comprised
of IBM, Intel, AMD/ATI, Google, Nokia, IMG,
Freescale/Motorolla, Nvidia and many many more mainly
hardware manufacturers. Now we have this new Alliance
called the Open Handset Alliance with an Open Source
Operating System (Android) to run on the hardware
manufacturers Open Source API with wider adoption
capabilities for the future, than any one closed
source proprietary system (like Apple's iPhone), could
ever Dream of!

....And it all begins appropriately enough, with T-
Mobile and Google's Android Dream Launch next month.
Where the "Dream" and an Android are only the first of
many sure to come from an Alliance that has only just
begun!!!

So in the end "Sexy or Sleek" or "Geeky and Lean" have
nothing to do with it. The writing is right there on
the wall, but only a few companies seem to be getting
the message at this point! That is, that what made
Open Source OpenGL ES the Dominant API force in the
World, so quickly is all in the numbers of the Khronos
Group Alliance of Companies. That make for the widest
possible distribution vs the proprietary Elitist
mentality of an Apple!!!

BTW Ap Store? hehe selling controlled aps that never
threaten or interfere with Apple's own limited
tethered control scheme of 3rd party aps. After all
Microsoft has just so aptly demonstrated with their
own lack of proprietary penetration into the Mobile
Market. Now predominately controlled by Open
Unix/Clone Kernel derived products like Symbian, Palm,
RIM Blackberry and Apple's own iPhone kernel (BSD)!
