Exactly! After the patents have been stripped you end up with a warehouse full of manufacturing equipment designed to manufacture stuff you no longer have the patents too. Also the Chinese are not known to loose much sleep over patent issues :)

Is that anything like people who write run on sentences missing punctuation? Maybe you should practice what you preach.

As far as the article goes... this is all speculation at the moment. However selling Motorola minus the patents would make sense. Also Google could sell Motorola's hardware division with a license agreement to use the patents.

I would support that, but it is unlikely. It worries me that manufacturers are considering in-house development of their own android versions. That would greatly sacrifice stability and scare away developers who might be considering the platform. Let's hope these companies can work it out and keep android a solid, unified platform.

"Run-on," I think, is the proper usage, since we are correcting.

LMAO @ all the grammar police in here.

As for Android the whole ecosystem is becoming a bigger pile of sh!t every day between fragmentation, carrier and manufacturer skins and bloat, poorly written apps, poorly optimized OS, etc.....

Now that my HTC EVO 4G contract is up I am waiting to see if Sprint comes up with a decent Windows phone (cant do data-caps I use too much so need to stay with Sprint).

Do you include your original baseless negative comments about the Android OS as part of this making the world a better place, or do you feel that negative comments to be your singular domain?

I don't understand why more choice is bad for consumers. What is really bad for consumers is paying a higher markup for the same hardware as it happens with Apple devices.

I don't understand this bias.

Amazon's kindle fire is an Android device. And forks are good for customers and developers. Do you complain about there being dirt bikes, mopets and racing motorcycles ? Would you like better to have an iMotor Cycle that is clearly good at no niche? Phones can be specialism for niches too. Open you mind and use your megaphone to educate people, not confuse them.

I dont understand the issue of OEM forking android like Amazon ..where are the apps/content/services for this fork to successful. Amazon has it own content to support fire, hence it is successful. Android OEMS's HTC, ASUS, even samsung are only hardware manufacturers and not content providers. It is really difficult for the android OEM to provide whole ecosystem. It is easy to make phones/tablets but to sell them you need content for which they have to depend on google.
