Reminder: pretty much all of these arguments could have been leveled at Windows in the early '90s, leading Microsoft to create WHQL. Also, the Motorola acquisition could help or could harm Google tremendously depending on how they handle it. Clearly, if they try to undercut competitors and release Motorola-only features, it'll murder Android. But if they use Motorola to defend Android, to break the carriers' veto on technology and to drive best-of-breed designs, competitors may not be too concerned. Hopefully, this is the route Google goes: use Motorola to cement Android's place in mobile, then spin Motorola back out in an IPO.
