Given that existing Android tablets from OEMs are not selling greatly, if this tablet is a success will it not be to the detriment of these OEMs already taking a hit on Android? So basically Samsung etc. are now competing with Google in th

I know you're joking, but his point is very badly made. Anything that can support ~1 billion users is not piddly. Facebook are doing amazing work with PHP, as are many others at a very large scale. Why the unpaid work of Rasmus and many, m
