> There won’t be any negotiation or compromise over the phone’s design of features – Google is dictating every last piece of it. No splintering of the Android OS that makes some applications unusable. Like the iPhone for Apple, this phone will be Google’s pure vision of what a phone should be.
Excuse me, but how exactly will releasing another Android phone reduce splintering of the platform? That doesn't make sense at all.
- jsz0 17y agoIt could become the defacto standard for Android devices. Mostly screen resolution & a baseline CPU/memory expectation for developers to target. This could reduce splintering by simply making Android a far less attractive option for use outside of the ARM mobile phone platform. Ultimately I think this is Google's goal. They want to keep Android a mobile phone OS and position Chrome OS for netbooks, tablets, etc.
