Google is under the monopoly microscope of government regulators from around the world. Imho, they are walking a 21st century tight rope between the telecom industry, device manufacturers, and software development hoping to maintain and grow their "search business". Imho, Google cares about Google, we are on our own.
Even I have raised an eyebrow watching Google release "free applications" for Android. The now prime example is the Android Market, make a bunch of promises, have a contest, deliver most promises, then weakly support the Android market while delivering 1st class "free applications" for not only Android, but for many other platforms as well. In my view, Google developing free closed source applications to undermine potential competitors is laissez-faire capitalism. Throwing Android over the fence to placate competitive interests seems like a smart move. I've taken the bait and am still running with it. My greatest hope is that Android takes on a life of its own as Linux has done to out maneuver bullying monopolies.
