So That No Industry Player Can Restrict or
Control the Innovations of Any Other

post from Daring Fireball on 31 March 2011 06:04:46 PM. © Daring Fireball

Google:

Android is an open-source software stack for mobile devices, and a corresponding open-source project led by Google. We created Android in response to our own experiences launching mobile apps. We wanted to make sure that there was no central point of failure, so that no industry player can restrict or control the innovations of any other. That’s why we created Android, and made its source code open.

Vic Gundotras Paean to Androids Openness at
Google I/O 2010

post from Daring Fireball on 31 March 2011 06:04:46 PM. © Daring Fireball

Vic Gundotra in his keynote at I/O last year:

If Google didn?t act, it faced a draconian future where one man,one phone, one carrier were our choice. That?s a future wedon?t want. [?]
So if you believe in openness, if you believe in choice, if youbelieve in innovation from everyone, then welcome to Android.

Businessweek today:

From now on, companies hoping to receive early access to Google’smost up-to-date software will need approval of their plans. Andthey will seek that approval from Andy Rubin, the head of Google’sAndroid group.

Can’t wait for this year’s I/O keynote.

I Saw This Coming All Along

Ashlee Vance and Peter Burrows, reporting for Businessweek:

Playtime is over in Android Land. Over the last couple of months Google has reached out to the major carriers and device makers backing its mobile operating system with a message: There will be no more willy-nilly tweaks to the software. No more partnerships formed outside of Google’s purview. From now on, companies hoping to receive early access to Google’s most up-to-date software will need approval of their plans. And they will seek that approval from Andy Rubin, the head of Google’s Android group.

So here’s the Android bait-and-switch laid bare. Android was “open” only until it became popular and handset makers dependent upon it. Now that Google has the handset makers by the balls, Android is no longer open and Google starts asserting control. Andy Rubin, Vic Gundotra, all of them: shameless, lying hypocrites.
