No really sure of that - where you go that message.

If you mean seriously in the sense of getting an level of integration between Contacts, Calendar and Email vis the google account then yes.

But you can still use Contacts, Calendar and email in a standalone fashion without a Google account. Also lack of a google account still doesnt prevent you from using the rest of Android platform effectively - at least as far as my usage has shown.

Of course if you want to install apps from Google Marketplace you do need a google account - but that has got nothing to do with Android. You can access other marketplaces which dont need a google account irrespective.

Quite frankly I dont get where you go that blanket statement from.
