While some Android OEMs have made such dubious pacts with Microsoft, I believe there are others who have not. If someone can find a list or chart of Android OEMs who have and have not entered patent agreements with MS, please share a link, thanks in advance. (Thanks Chris P for the article links that give the current list; a resource that gets updated would be ideal.) For an example suddenly of interest to me, Polaroid is not listed in those articles. (Phew - my wife just bought a PTAB7200.) I would rather recommend Android over one of the more-proprietary mobile OS-s. And yes, I would rather recommend Android from a freedom-defending OEM than from a FUD accomplice. /Randall _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
