I need remedial reading? Did you see the question mark at the end of 'Is Microsoft to blame?'
See that question mark? It's an open question they never prove. The writer has a theory that MS is somehow keeping android out, he never comes close to proving it. Yeah, I see the comma...money is always involved. He takes money being involved in LG creating handsets for MS as meaning MS paid off LG to NOT do android? I know in your mixed up MS is the Sith world, 1 + 2 = MS IS EVIL, but it doesn't here in real life. This whole blog post is full of question marks with no answers, full of sentences being started with perhaps or maybe and why. Heavy on theory, not so good on facts. http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-271256.html Try that, ZDNET actually *speaks* to Rich Miner, the point man for android at google. I know you'd rather get your 'facts' from MFB's who didn't attend the conference, but it might interest others to actually hear facts from the horses mouth and not the back end of roughlydrafted. Try posting your stuff to coast to coast, all those fake conspiracies get better play there. A short quote: *"We think we are very much on track. We only released the open-source code late last October," Miner said in an interview with CNET News. "We said we'd have the release software out in 2008, and we did. We said we'd have at least one phone out in 2008, and we launched that in October." * *Designing phones takes time, he added. "If you understand anything about the design cycle for OEMs [original equipment manufacturers] to build handsets, it takes a good 12-to-18 months to go from paper to completion. And there are many handsets in development now. The second phone has been announced, and we expect to see more throughout the year," Miner said.* But then what does the head of Android know? Guys sitting in their basement writing for a blog that plays just to mac zealots obviously know more about Google then just a guy that works there.
