Motorola embraces Android

Recently motorola announced that they are going to adopt three different operating systems for all the cell phones. One of them being Android. I am a big believer of open source and think that this is a big step by motorola and also think Techcrunch comparison of this with IBM adopting Linux is a very appropriate one. 

BUT.... 

I am not very happy with the first phone with Android. Every review I have read about G1 is clearly stating that it is nowhere close to iPhone.

I strongly believe that whoever wins the application market wins in the long run...

Andriod vs iPhone - Coming Year

With the release of the first android based cellphone, the game has begun. I am now tempted to predict that Android will win over the next couple of years. Here is a link stating that motorola is going to invest heavily into this.

Also considering the economic situation, Apple will face a lot of price competition from other cellphone manufactures and Android will win in this battle.
