Android Cool

Verizon has chosen the LiMo Foundation instead of Google Android which is all well and good but they had to go out of their way to take a cheap shot at Google.

“We chose LiMo because it’s a collaborative effort. It’s not just one company runs the place. We like that. We like a collegial and collaborative effort, where there is no barrier to entry on the part of developers and, at the end of the day, there is no one entity that can say ‘OK, here’s how we were playing now. The rules are changed.”

It’s hard to make the argument that Google isn’t a company trying to pioneer the “open airwaves” movement and to peg them as some sort of monopolistic empire is a little rich. Thems is fightin words.
