A drug dealing mafia couldn't do it better.

Samsung and bada is cool. Nokia and Symbian and Harmattan is cool. Qt is cooool. That is really it. Everything else is boring. Forgot what my point actually was
Not sure about that, Google doesn't win anything on close Android. They need Samsung and HTC, SE.

Its more the Moto patent portfilio they need to fight M$, Nokia and Apple.
