That's true and great. But how is that going to get into carriers or kill Brew?? Even if a rogue carrier developed their own version of Android, they would need to develop the ecosystem. And for what end? Agree whole-heartedly on potential threat to BREW. But that's just the nature of competition in the OS world. As for the end, I can only speak from my own experience, we were developing a door security system that got it's code updates over wireless. brivo.com We could have used the BREW or Android App system to implement it. At the time we used straight Linux. But the whole app update and runtime could have been highly beneficial to use. Android could possibly be a starting point for wireless app developers that need a specialized wireless system like door security, or smart meters, etc.... Then again, BREW might be better. Dan D.
