Whoâs really in charge of Android Development?
,----[ Quote ]
| Are there good reasons for Google to have a
| majority control of the development? I
| personally think there is as it is often
| the loose control of the open source label
| that limits things from being done. I also
| donât think we would have had Android 2.0
| as quickly. Said Bill Maggs, head of
| developer and partner content and services
| at Sony Ericsson. "Google is largely at
| this point definitely driving the framework."

| I've been following the development of
| smartphones, tablets, and single-purpose
| devices for quite a while in this blog, but
| every time I think that the market for e-
| book readers has calmed down, another
| announcement in the sector adds a new
| competitive dimension. A couple of weeks
| ago, Barnes & Noble introduced its own e-
| book reader, the Nook, just ahead of the
| holiday shopping season.
