		rbarooah on March 31, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google Tightening Control of Android I beg to differ. We could have it all if it was really an open source project. The community would be able to make it into something great - not just by making apps. If it was great, it would be desireable. Carriers probably wouldn't like it, but Google could commission open hardware just as they have done already, and demand would cause other hardware makers to follow suit. Google's intent behind Android is to put them in control, and they aren't afraid to say so.

Meego was - where did it go? Desktop Linux? Don't kid yourself, you can't have it all.
