and all that means nothing, because they will fall faster then they have climbed. A OS not based on the full Linux kernel like webos, a OS thats potential is inferior to any major OS on the market like IOS, Webos, or WP7. There intial headstart last year when no other new devices from other OS’s (besides IOS in june, and WP7 in NOV) which made consumer purchase a android device. The Oracal lawsuit that is legit will hender Google completly. As HP and Microsoft continue to march forward with their products they will be able to scale much bigger then Google worldwide. Sorry Google fanboys Google does not have the captial, or the Resources a HP, Apple, Or Microsoft has period and never will. So what Google can do those companys can also do, but can do it alot better.
