I've always seen Android as a means to an end for them, to get more people using the web. Any further reading? That used to be the story, but then it changed as a means to get people into Google services, and guess what: You don't need a web to do that. The current state of Android is that all defaults, unless you override them and install third party apps, involve you logging into a Google account and storing and associating everything you do with that: Mail, Contacts, Calendar-data, Photos, Music, etc. And to install third party apps, you need to log in with a Google+ account, and when you do that, the sync for all the above-mentioned things get activated. Escaping the Google-creep is getting harder and harder on Android, so I seriously hope FirefoxOS, Jolla, Tizen or anything really will be getting somewhere and soon. Android is not feeling quite as cozy as it used to anymore.
