i did a bit of digging a while back, and the boss of the android project (android was something google bought btw, he was the one that started it after getting tired of having his decisions overruled in his other startup, danger, of hiptop/sidekick fame) is old hat apple.

had i know that at the time, i had cried wolf...

after finding it out, i view android as basically dead. openmoko is the best option for the foreseeable future, with symbian being the joker in the sleeve...
