WronG : Android is not a phone. It's an OS that most buyers dont know about. There are so many 'droid based phones with differ net OS versions now its not funny. I look forward to you and Gortard (who is wrong almost as often as you), queueing up to help all the different mfrs of Android based phones port their proprietary front ends to Froyo ... It's not a win for Linux.

The market usually figures it out just fine. My bread fits perfectly in my toaster, for example. It's unusual for a market to be so unhealthy that companies can ignore interoperability. -- "Over the years I had various laptops.
