It seems to me that the "risk" is overblown.
The biggest "issue" that I've read about is scaling the screen for different resolutions, this could be solved by an update with an intelligent scaling algorithm.
It seems to me what Google is trying to do is improve the native applets so that OEMs are less likely to want to create their own.
Also, nothing says that Google is banning these vendor additions, just discourage them.
Remember Android is an open platform.
- elcron 16y agoYes, but doesn't google limit google apps to approved devices? If google wanted to they could probably use these to force OEMs to use the default UI or loose the right to distribute google apps. Of course, the article doesn't say that, so google probably isn't even doing that.

And if Google says its UI must be used in order to get the Google bits, that's where the conflict will begin. Owners of the Archos 5 Internet Tablet are well aware of what Android minus Google is like.
