At least everyone can agree on how to pronounce Android. "Maemo" wasn't a name that made any sense and was even less universally pronounceable. Meego is at least pronounceable but it sounds a bit less mature as a brand name.

The Android logo is a clean, simple and friendly mascot/symbol. Maemo.. well, it didn't even have one at first and it's still not much of an icon. It's just--the name. Not much of a symbol. Meego.. does it even have a logo? I'm not sure that I've seen one yet.

Most evil company is certainly debatable.. but after my own experiences with Nokia products versus Google branded products, I've had a vastly better customer support, accessories and software experience on my Motorola Droid than I ever had with my Nokia N800--and I mean, I took my N800 EVERYWHERE I went and loved it despite the abuse from Nokia. If I had to rate the "evil" factor so far, I feel far less evil dripping from Google fingers than from Nokia's negligent, blithe, uncaring touch. My impression is that Google at least pro-actively asks for and acts on customer concerns. Despite Nokia's claims of being more open than Google with the Linux kernel, I saw far less of Nokia playing ball with the open-source community overall, especially outside of the Linux kernel.

Can you explain what you mean that Android will be free until competitors go bankrupt? I'm not entirely sure I understand how that works.
