My thoughts on Android success lies with the Manufactures and Developers. Android is just another OS. The difference is it is open source. But open source is far from free and takes a major investment for manufactures to back it. What android need is a major backer and I don't think it is Google because it is not a revenue source for them; It is a cost center. MS is the one we have to look out for, their profit centers are diminishing with the desktop and they are looking for a direction. For them, I think that wireless is it.
