  1. I predict lots and lots of similar looking Android devices.


  3. +1

    Wonder what Nokia will announce. Rumors about Nokia going for Android or Nokia co-operating with Microsoft for WP7-phones.

    Don't think Nokia will be there. They have their own gig at a different venue. Nokia/Android will not happen. Slip chance of a WP7 device to try and get a short term gain in the US though. I suspect though that Nokia may just use bing as the default search provider on their handsets. Find out on the 11th.

    Yes they're not on CES but they have a press conference somewhere else at the same time. But we'll find out indeed. Don't see them doing Android either. The market is already flooded with it.
  6. True. I am off Android completely. Too many OEMs have became too reliant on it and I am certain that bubble will bust. Too many handsets means a price war and the low end Android market is already huge. HTC, Motorola and Sony Ericsson will suffer in a few years.

    I think Android, WP7, iOS and Symbian, which makes a surprise comeback if I hear the stories, will remain. There are a lot of low-end Androids on the market and there are more coming. Android might become the new Symbian in the low-end, together with Symbian itself.

    I don't know what Google will come up with in the coming years, it will be interesting to see. The four earlier mentioned operating systems will dominate the market anyway. WP7 is still in its early phase, iOS gets more competition, Symbian makes a comeback and Android is still in development and always will be.

    I like the Android-system I have, it's a farcry from Symbian S60. Don't know what my next phone will be but I'll stick with this Desire HD for the coming 12 months or so anyway.
  8. Android wins either way as a platform but I don't see any manufacturers doing too well with it. Certainly no other manufacturer will challenge Nokia. Android will sell at the high and low ends but there will be too many manufacturers trying to get ever thinner slices of the pie.

    True, and then their models don't sell themselves anymore because there are simply to many of them. The high-end models will survive though. Only Samsung and HTC challenge iOS with Android. Sony Ericsson isn't there (yet).

    Samsung is okay as they are focusing on Bada at the same time as using Android. HTC's hardware is sub par and Sense is already looking dated so they have little to differentiate themselves from the lower end manufacturers. Nokia will be fine and apple will maintain its market share. Everything else concerning Android is unknown.

    Google will come with Android 2.4 pretty quick though, probably porting Android 3 Honeycomb elements to the skin. HTC need to reinvent themselves from time to time. But I think they're capable of doing so. And they might focus on WP7 as well, like they did with Windows Mobile.
  12. Google win either way but unless a manufacturer is in control of their own hardware and software then they are never gonna be top dog. Nokia and Apple then (only high end with apple though).
