Remember when Yahoo, with its tree structure of topics/directories, was the market leader (for "finding stuff")? Remember when an upstart Google came on the scene with unrestricted, algorithmically selected results?
It wouldn't be the first time Google's taken down a "walled garden" (being a bit unfair to Yahoo's state -- and attitude -- then, for the sake of the analogy).
However, it will depend upon whether Android evokes their serious, long term commitment. And someone will have to provide a better consumer support environment than either Google or the wireless carriers have provided up to this point, and a more open wireless marketplace than the carriers (I'm looking particularly at you, Verizon) have provided.
