It seems to me that Android is really about taking share from Windows Mobile, not the IPhone. Given that, it would make sense to take the multi-platform approach that they have. This article, and the comments within it, seem to simply be "stuff that must be said" given the recent announcement re: Chrome OS.

They need high end phones with good web browsers to become the norm. More people using these phones mean more people using the mobile web (and therefore Google's services).
