Re: Don't get your hopes up

"The speculation of a non-technical journalist is worth nothing."

But worth as much as the speculation of any of us not directly involved with the development of Android.

I'm really shocked by the reactionary "it will be impossible" attitude of so many people. The mobile phone market is pretty commoditized and shaking down to a handful of chipsets. Yes, there will be problems. But none of them strike me as a deal breaker for a company with Google's pockets, particularly as Microsoft seem to have solved them for Windows phone. Mobile is harder than desktop, I grant. But we've coped on the desktop for decades.
