I don't think they're getting enough credit for it. Open Social is another good initiative that they should get more credit for. It's interesting to see that when faced with overwhelming competition they end up doing what's good for everyone. And where they have an overwhelming monopoly they aggressively consolidate their hold on the market (and the user.) Sort of like Apple. I'm very interested to see how they would compete against Apple in the mobile business. It maybe that they're promoting Android to get Jobs to fully open up the iPhone to 3rd party development. After all, what business do they have with mobile phones? They'd happily leave that to Apple, IMO, if Apple would open up their SDK and distribution model. ;-) I believe that what Google has done in this case is good for consumers and the industry.
