The article states they are too dependent on Google/Android? If the author have used a Chinese version of android he would think its another OS and not android. The localization engineered on it is just awesome when I saw one. The hand writing on screen without even showing a keyboard to type their weird characters and the speech recognition is really good. I think it is a big setback not having Google on your side but that company is rich they can throw a lot of resources to their current problem. I do agree that Playstore/Appstore is a bad monopoly and the world needs another worldwide distributed appstore.
