I think Android will have two Achilles heels. One: a vast array of distinctive hardware to support. Two: the inherent lack of quality that comes from “open” environments. Linux has been around for years. Why hasn’t it taken off on the desktop? Quality. It’s still too difficult to use for the average consumer, and the edges are too rough. I see the same thing happening with Android.

As one reviewer said, Android looks like an OS that was developed by engineers, not designers. Which is true. And engineers haven’t exactly done the end user many favors over the years when it comes to usability.

While a closed ecosystem has its drawbacks (some major), there’s something to be said for a controlled environment.

Tom, you can bet El Jobso had some public floggings at Apple HQ of those responsible for the MobileMe debacle.

Nobody makes El Jobso look bad. Nobody.

Apparently, Apple didn’t pay as much attention to the launch of Mobile Me.

Here’s a good demo of the phone. I’m looking forward to what other developers will be able to do with Android.
