What will be more complex, is that they will have to deal with new functionalities, extension made by manufacturer, new device features, and this will create new complexity....The same story again Apple is doing aclosed platform, both on the software and on the hardware. This is more complex on one hand, but allows a much easiest integration, and no fragmentation. Concerning operators, I think that big ones will be very suspicious regarding Google, but smaller one much more open to jump in, as they have nothing to loose.

I have to say that the development environment is very nice and complete, that's a pretty good point. I agree that mobile technologies are very fragmented but none of these companies has managed to build a platform that is good enough to make well integrated applications -- only Apple did. I hope Android will comes out with solid hardware requirements that would avoid the tons of crappy and badly architected handset we have right now. That said, this is not enough to make it succeed and we will need to wait 1 more year to see the first handset running Android. And what about operators? I saw some of them on the Open Handset Alliance, what will be their role? WIll they finally open their network? Hi Thomas,

And what about operators? I saw some of them on the Open Handset Alliance, what will be their role? WIll they finally open their network?
