Article should have read the "5 reasons Android will continue to rise"
I mean seriously. That article is ludicrous.
The battle here is we're back to the OEM's/carriers having control, adding usless UI"s and bloat on top of what is essentially an open source OS.

The only way it'll stay free from carrier UI's is for Google to produce their own devices....They tried and Failed with the NexusOne......
I read it, but some of the comments (like the Nokia MeeGo) is more of a "gonna happen." Another example:
Android's greatest threat is that the iPhone moves to Verizon in the U.S....But Android has been seen as the iPhone alternative. If Verizon has the iPhone, it won't need as strong an alternative.
They're basically saying the only reason people buy Androids is because they're on Verizon and can't get an iPhone.
what they don't get is we actually want competition. we don't want to be the best, we want android to keep pushing and updating. they also aren't looking at the fact that it's starting to not be "cool" anymore to have an iphone. more and more i'm seeing people with shameful looks on their faces pulling iphones out of their pockets, or explaining why they have one before anyone asks. they're just not as cool as they used to be.
don't even have to read the article
Android is picking up and everyone is anxious to see what Google does next.
if anything it's Blackberry's last hurrah
