So if i remember right android is going to be able to be installed onto any phone. Because android is more like a web browser really, people can upload there own programs/apps to it. Which gives the android a real nice twist to it.
It seems like everyone is starting to make a "Just good enough product" when it should be... "Better than the previous"... I was reading the news and they said "...one thing Steve Jobs does purposely is make products that are hard to reproduce and imitate..." I'm not an Apple fan-boy... but I believe he makes a good point...
With Android there will be multiple phones... and regardless of the manufacturer they will still be grouped as Android phones... They should take some pride in that... and present a product line that exceeds expectations...
Sort of like when a famous artist makes several painting for a show... he won't present the one that looks like crap... and signs his name on it... because he does not want people to think of that art... that design... as a representation of his capability...
