Google protecting American manufacturers from Cheap Honeycomb Tablets
Google has refused to release the source code of Android 3.x , aka Honeycomb. Android been opensource, this is expected. Google gives a very B*tchy excuse in the form that if they release the course, open source developers will port the OS to phones. The OS was done specifically for tablets and made some compromises which will give users a bad user experience on phones, and Google cares so much it doesn't want to cause this. What google doesnt want to say that its is protecting the likes of Motorola , HTC , Samsung from Chinese manufacturers like Huawei and ZTE which will offer the same user experience on tablets at less than half the cost, according to H-Online http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Google-says-no-Android-Honeycomb-sour... . At the end, its Google's software though, if open source devs really want, they should work their asses off and add same functionality to 2.x -- with Regards: The Chinese are known to be entrepreneurs, and coupled with some imagination, are now playing the role of nature in food and beverage production. http://gramware.blogspot.com/2011/01/chinese-way-to-become-imaginative.html

"Um, HTC is chinese..." I wonder what guys in Taiwan feel about this... ...but the point is, the big boys(Samsung, HTC, et al) are feeling the pinch from Huawei and ZTE, who are still small boys in the handset market, but big in the telcoms.This was expected to happen in due course...let's see how long this will last... ./bernard On Sun, Mar 27, 2011 at 11:36 AM, African Pro Soccer < info@africanprosoccer.com> wrote:
