From a European perspective, anyone in his right mind should wait till a major handset manufacturer buys into them before starting to develop applications for it.And I must tell big names are very wary of depending on another big name for their products; hence Microsoft Mobile's miserable track record across the pond.

- hcho 19y agoBeing in the alliance does not mean that they will do large volume phone production with Android. Samsung and Motorola are always keen on being Linux consortiums. What's their Linux phones' market share in Europe? I am not saying that Google will never make it. It will take time before they can grab a decent share. The name of the game is wait and see at the moment.
- flashgordon 19y agointerestingly this could be part of the reason for the android challenge.. get a lot of developers first and hence get a lot of applications out there, which would reduce one headache for handset manufacturers - applications to bundle to the users!
