Yes, and most people hate it when they do that.

  Probably the biggest case for a full-on Google breakup. Android being split from the platform components. A new company probably still couldn't develop platform pieces if that chink in the armor was made available by the DOJ. But if Google were split along those lines into two or more companies, it would provide nice and healthy gradients on both the hardware/OS and the platform/software sides of the market. We really do need a Google breakup.

    I agree with your parent post but why would a breakup not equally apply to Apple?

      It should! But the parent was referring to Android manufacturers.

    > Probably the biggest case for a full-on Google breakup. Android being split from the platform components. Isn't core Android open source? As long as you do not need Google apps and Google services, you can use Android OSS right now without Google's platform components.
