It seems like this headline was crafted specifically to incite a mobile OS flamewar. And yet, there is very little content in the article that explains why or to what extent Android will be used. Obviously they need an OS that is highly customizable, and I assume that's why Android is an easy choice. But to me, it seems like the OS is fairly unimportant on such a purpose-built device. What I'm more interested is how they intend on setting up reliable communications between the devices. Obviously they can't go into a warzone and expect there to be Verizon cell towers every few miles. I assume there is already a system in place, but the article doesn't explain any of this, or how the hardware will have to adapt to the existing system. Or how the OS will have to be modified to use the different hardware. All around a pretty stupid article. I've seen much better from ars.
