That is some serious growth! And they haven't even started shipping tablets yet.

I don't have an Android phone but installed the developer tools today which includes an emulator. I'm impressed. I can see why it's so popular.

The link is not working for me. Dunno why. Sounds promising, though. Does the story say how Android is doing elsewhere in the world?

Here's the worldwide picture from a BBC article:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10839034 Basically Symbian still way out in front, but Android with dramatic growth and sniffing at RIM's heels for the number two slot. This is based on shipments for Q2 rather than sales, but the article notes that the sales do tend to match the shipment trends. Graham |

If there is not an easy transition, or access to these apps, I don't believe the Google tablet space will succeed. =X= |

It looks like there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes to make all this come together. Graham |
