"We were upset that we couldn't launch it," Ruslan said. "If you guys want something to think about with regards to Android, why is there an open piece of software out there that any of the phone companies could implement onto their phone within one minute based on the engineering teams they have, but somehow only one company has got Android phones on the market at the moment while others have delayed. That's just something to think about."

When pushed for more details all Ruslan would say was; "I can't make any further comment".

Did Google cut a secret deal with HTC? Did HTC threaten to walk away from Android if it didn't get first dibs? Was Kogan the fly in the ointment that was squashed in order to appease bigger interests? Ruslan can't say, but it's clear he's not happy.
