But didn't Google block Acer pretty recently? I understand that Acer was part of an industry group, but if Google is delivering a stream of improvements to Android can't they just lock up future updates?
- fpgeek 14y agoWell, until 2017 there's a pesky promise to Chinese regulators: http://news.cnet.com/8301-32969_3-57437774-300/china-to-google-android-must-remain-open/ http://news.cnet.com/8301-32969_3-57437774-300/china-to-goog... Of course, Google's willingness to make that promise says something about their current plans and the contingencies they foresee.
- michaelpinto 14y agothat's interesting — i'd assumed they wrote off china, but that really goes the other way
