It’s not about just the software, like Microsoft, or hardware, like Motorola. It’s about total use experience. What it matters to Apple is iPhone be the best in total experience.

Hi Nom, I think the way it works is that android comes in different versions, the purest being Google Experience Android or somesuch, which I believe does not include such Exchange support. Fortunately OEMs such as HTC view ActiveSync or something much like it as being a key feature and increasingly are baking in their own versions.

Please forgive if I am mistaken.

“If only Google could overcome religion and bake in really good Exchange support to the Google branded variants of Android….” and i thought the mytouch3g, hero and others already have that. also, saying religion maybe too strong a word, i’d rather settle for philosopy.

yeah app store now was screen shots too, pretty cool. donut 1.6 rocks. I think 2010 will be a big year for android, and 2011 sounds more accurate for android to be neck and neck with the iPhone, with android taking over around 2012.

Moving forward it is hard to imagine a world where Android has not taken a big chunk of the smartphone market, particularly on the lower end. Let’s face it, device makers are hugely sensitive to cost and Android has a huge advantage there – it costs nothing. This is going to be almost irresistible for up and coming Chinese makers struggling at the bottom of the market and should be irresistible for the Motorolas and Sony Ericssons of the world. Were it not a political/control of destiny thing, it would have been a no-brainer for Nokia to run with Android as well. Instead we will get fragmentation, with some Nokias still shipping with Symbian and the introduction of Maemo to the mass market, adding another linux variant where there was no particular market demand. Interesting to see some of the Japanese, who you would otherwise expect to be big into LiMo, express interest in Android. If only Google could overcome religion and bake in really good Exchange support to the Google branded variants of Android….

Just installed Donut on by G1, seems faster, Appstore is white instead of black…..
