Good points, but Android has already made its way in the market. The same day Oracle filed the complaint (not a coincidence IMHO) there was the news that Android has passed iPhone in the USA and it's #2 on the USA market. So, it's well consolidated. The Oracle legal issue might certainly make some damage, but it largely depends on how long the trial will go on. I suppose that time is precisely one of the cards that Oracle is playing. If they settle down to an agreement in a relatively short time, we won't be affected by any major problem. So, there are still some months before one should be worried, I think.
