Just for some more thoughts about Android and what it represents, this is a pretty amazing video of Lee Williams, the head of the Symbian Foundation, commenting on Google and it's strategy:

It's pretty funny when he says, "Come on, when you have to say in your motto that, 'We're not evil,' right away the first question in my mind is, why do you have to tell me that?"

But anyway, he has a lot of much more substantive things to say that are pretty interesting, including discussing why Android is not as open of a platform as Google claims it is.
