It’s a reality. Case in point, a couple of the 50 winners have already responded wanting to know more about our entry (we submitted a single framework for apps demonstrated via a chat demo using Android, Java SE, and .NET clients), in addition to the budding relationships we already have with handset providers. Some validation indeed! I was taking the idea of an open and free platform a step further. Google has made a lot of PR claims about wanting true open innovation. And what about their attempt to open up the FCC spectrum for “the good of consumers/developers”? I love Google for many reasons, but as you said, Google is here to make money. But your assumption is that EVERY phone will run Android eventually, or even a significant subset will. Unless Windows goes away (HA!) and Nokia folds or switches their platform (yeah, right), this will simply never be, not in the next decade. Google’s dream is to get beyond the internet and deliver ads to the desktop directly and to non-internet devices (kiosks, grocery stores, cars, set top boxes). They’ve already hit gas pumps and newspapers for example. They will never do this via uniform domination, but only do this by solving interop, especially with embedded devices. @ Mogilny— Universal interop funny? It’s a reality.
