Not the death of Android, perhaps the death of multi-touch if RAND doesn't apply.
Personally, I think the only multi-touch action I ever use is pinch-to-zoom (and a double-tap can work just as well). I'll survive.
But doesn't Google have the inside track on voice actions? I see a quid-pro-quo on the horizon.
Not only Voice Actions… youtube, maps, and just about all Google software runs on IOS. Apple would never make anything that runs on Android. Imagine the iPhone without maps and youtube… The thing is Google chooses to adhere to their "Never be evil policy". They rarely, if ever, go on the offensive so I doubt you will see a quid pro quo. But boy I wish they would. Just once.
