Porky Trying to Catch Up to Marathon Man! grin
The one thing I'd like to see is a better
clarification of who is actually behind Android. As it
is now everyone believes it's just Google!

Simply not so! Android was an operating system and
applications company before Google bought them. Made
up, mind you, of people formerly of top Mobile
embedded devices including former T-Mobile and Nokia
creative forces. You could say that Google is just the
main wallet behind Android and be more right!

Remember that Android is backed by the combined forces
of OHA Open Handset Alliance!

Members of that alliance aren't just T-Mobile or HTC.
In fact they are small change in light of it's more
muscular, lean, mean and BIG (not fat) members!

http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/oha_members.html

The fact is you could pick any one of these Corporate
Power Brokers with some that have Google walking in
their shadows. Names like IBM, Intel, Motorolla,
Samsung to name but a few. The power of Worldwide Telecom
providers with big names on it, is remarkable. Google may be
the only beginner in the entire group of powers that be in the
Mobile Device Market. Even though the people actually working on
Android certainly aren't!

But as a whole OHA has a combined industry presence
that leaves even Microsoft walking in it's
shadows.....and that far behind those breaking tape to
cross the Finish Line in the end. As Microsoft will
only be in the clean up crew of fat lardass, big
mouthed losers like Steve "The Monkey Boy" Balmer!

To ensure that, don't forget Khronos Group with OpenGL
ES 2.0 is riding the Widest Distributed set of API's
in history making M$ DirectX look like a barren
technology 'n pennyless power indeed!

That OPEN group features more combined member
horsepower than any technology group in history.
Including AMD/ATI, IBM, Intel, Nokia, HTC, Google,
Apple, Nvidia, STI, etc et all!

Don't forget, Google is not competing against Apple
and iPhone. But is rather like a different flavor of
toothpaste from Colgate Palmolive varied brands.
Because Google CEO Eric Schmidt is also on the Apple
Board of Directors! grin

How does feel "Steve"? Maybe like the Monkey on your
back has simply gotten much BIGGER! wink
