Should Linux and Android Fuse?
,----[ Quote ]
| It's hard not to be ambivalent about Android if you're a fan of Linux.
| Android is free and open source (mostly, I think) and it's got a lot of
| momentum building behind it. Cool, right? On the other hand, it's not really
| a Linux distro in any traditional sense even though it uses a Linux kernel.
| It would be one thing if it were purely a smartphone OS, but it's
| increasingly looking like it will be a netbook and maybe, therefore, even a
| full desktop OS. A lot of people will probably find that a netbook and a
| smartphone are really all they need anyway, along with their TV and maybe a
| docking station at home with a large LCD. That's a very plausible scenario to
| me when people get used to netbooks and the things inevitably become more
| powerful. And having the same OS on all these devices may be a really slick
| thing. In this light, Android may prove to be an irresistable force.
