How many tablet apps did Android have while launching tablets? How many are even tablet compatible now? Why should developers launch now instead of polishing their apps and launching at RTM? I think this is much ado about nothing, once the

What amazes me is that people make it sound as if they did not consider this. Of course what they considered doing that but also realized that it will raise very little revenue since 99.99% of folks will not click on the Shopping lens. W

Not because of that but because of the speculation that Google may have chosen not to renew the license for Google maps on the iPhone. It could be a strategic decision to help Android, could've asked for much more licensing revenue, or refu

The OP I was replying to said that projects like CM won't be popular if Android wasn't open source. I replied that CM's popularity is a direct result of people committing copyright infringement by providing and downloading non-open source G

There's probably no difference technically, but you don't see people using that term much. For example, in this thread we see people saying Android is open, instead of AOSP is open. Perhaps increasing the usage of the AOSP term will suffice

The "nullification" in jury nullification refer to the jury nullifying a law because it's unjust or unfair, not to the judge nullifying the jury for not following the rules.

I agree with what you said about Google doing these things for the good of the Android ecosystem, but the problem is with calling Android "open". There are a lot of caveats to that statement which almost always go unmentioned by the person

>The argument "nobody uses them without Play and Maps" is invalid, though. Why? CM is legally prohibited from bundling Play Store, Google apps like Mail, Youtube, Maps, Currents, Now etc. etc. In fact, Google sent them a C&D for doi

Sigh, this whole Android is open or not argument is degenerating into the kind of arguments over 'Copyright infringement vs. Stealing'. Here's one good solution, call the open Android as Androidium(on the lines of Chrome vs. Chromium). Very
