I'm not sure if "forks" is the right word, aren't they just another OEM adding their own skin ala HTC sense or Motoblur?

- icegreentea 15y agoWell, the details are lacking a bit, but at the very least they're going a bit further than most other OEMs by stripping out all of the Google goodness (and I presume the Android Marketplace) and replacing with their own (and thus avoiding the google licensing fees... and avoiding using a competitor's main product).
- ashishgandhi 15y agoI think they even are replacing the Maps service not just Google Search. Just to mention this explicitly.
- chucknthem 15y agoThe maps app is blocked/isn't available in China, so it makes sense to replace it here.
