That's how it looks, and it is wrong, given the "open" spin? Android was born with. If it looks like duck, if it quacks like a duck it probably is one. Let's keep this in mind and expectations were raised for an open environment which wouldn't have Google, carriers or others to act as a clearinghouse to control access to the app development and deployment aspect of the platform. It was supposed to be open and spark the development of "many great apps". Hey - call me delusional for hanging on to the idea of handset users relating to products and services to settle things and promote innovation. With stuff that ain't, like, that useful or, like, that cool you know, would be sorted out by the user base.

I'd say... it tends towards just another handset platform right now. Little exercise here: How many genuine Android engineering jobs are being offered around the country (US) right now, indicating genuine product or service development? I came up with three, so double or triple that up, perhaps multiply it by a factor of ten to compensate for what I didn't catch in this quick survey and you'll agree with me that Android app development is not exactly sizzling hot.
