Two Unexpected, Potential Scenarios for Android

,----[ Quote ]
| We've done a number of posts lately on the
| incredible momentum that the open source
| Android operating system has. It's being
| supported by nearly every major smartphone
| maker, with players such as Acer and Motorola
| putting huge bets behind it. Acer's new
| "Liquid" Android smartphone has the trendy
| Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm built in, a sign
| that the OS could boost the prospects of
| cutting-edge new processors.

| Scenario 2: An Android Foundation? ZDNet asks
| the excellent question, "Should Google Spin
| Android Into a Foundation?" Foundations, such
| as the Apache Foundation, can have an
| enormously positive impact on open source
| platforms and applications. But ZDnet's Dana
| Blankenhorn points this out: "It doesnât
| always work. Witness LiMo, which Motorola
| recently abandoned for Android. Witness
| Moblin, which Intel gave to the Linux
| Foundation. Witness Symbian itself for that
| matter." He also points out that foundations
| lead to lots of forks, which raises the
| possibility of problems like the ones cited in
| scenario one above. Would an Android
| foundation necessarily be good? What do you
| think?

| Alliance from the outset and is a founding member. Verizon's CEO has been
