@monkbent also, if patents were the only reasons that means they were even more naive about the patents and IP law than would be otherwise -
@anandabits I strongly suspect one of the reasons Rubin got canned was that he wanted Android to be more vertical -
@monkbent that could very well be. I don't suggest current Google management believes or fears this.
