A good OS does not a win in the marketplace guarantee. Windows phone is a case in point.
BTW - the suggested response is indeed a logical reaction to EU's illogical charges. True choice is allowing phones @ $150 - $1500 to exist, customized for every customer segment in the marketplace. True choice is the ability to tinker with the underlying OS and ROM. True choice is the ability to side-load apps despite __insert_agency_here__ not blessing it. And Android empowers those choices.
- detaro 8y agoIt were the logical reaction if "as closed as possible" and "the current situation" were the only two possible states. And with your proposed EU-ban, Google would leave massive hole in the market for handset makers to fill with alternatives, in a market large enough to motivate such development. That doesn't sound like something for Google to want, I believe their market position is better than that.
