Here's what I think is more likely: nothing changes. Do you people think that Google's promise of continued support and openness provide enough incentive, given past performance and history, combined with Google's recently stated interest to use the newly acquired plethora of patents to protect the Android platform as promised?
Hmm it seems with the mango update it would actually have people MUCH more interested. I think it didn't before because it brought absolutely nothing new/fresh to the table except the fancy UI. Couple that with the OEMs pushed out phones with the bare minimum and hardware it's no wonder really.

With the improved features like their cloud based services, social integration, office 365, skydrive etc along with pushing developer relations into overdrive it should garner some interest. People I've noticed are waiting for killer hardware....Nokia should be able to do that. WebOS is such a waste of a good OS, HP doesn't even know how to get it to gain traction, it's a pity.

As for google's latest, I doubt that 'nothing' will happen. I think competing oems will diversify more, because motorola will be first in line for everything google related. This will also be the end of motoblur (thank God!!)
