The Clone Army is Mobilizing!

Clone%20army.jpgYou just can't help but to be curious about Android.  It's not like a Linux-Java stack is revolutionary, but rather that the Android packaging and porting plan is by supporting the rapid introduction of thousands of mobile clones leading to the emergence of a device long tail, which could indeed lead to free phones someday.  That approach belittles big mobile OEM efforts big time by democratizing the tools of production and design now down to mobile manufacturing, and it arrives with impeccable timing when everyone is distracted by Apple and the head of the tail.  And with Google rounding up 1788 developers to write long tail apps for their Android Challenge, OEM Jedi's best watch your back.  A clone army is mobilizing.
