Google's plan to end Android fragmentation

,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, Google's Android defragmentation 
| strategy is just speculation at this point, 
| but it makes sense. There already are 
| several manufacturers who customize various 
| Android releases (HTC Sense, SE Timescape), 
| so there has to be a better way to deliver 
| core applications updates to users.

| Danger, Sears is a former Vice President of
| Product Marketing at T-Mobile USA, and
| White headed design and interface
| development at WebTV. Android Inc was an
| unknown company that made software for
| mobile phones. Then rumors were circulating
| that Google was planning to enter the
| mobile phone market. At Google, a team lead
| by Rubin developed a mobile platform
| powered by the Linux kernel which they
| marketed to headset makers and wireless
| carriers on the premise of providing a
| customizable and upgradeable system.

| far exclusive arrangement, thereby making

| Nuvifone G60, which runs a custom Linux OS.
