Well that was absolutely tongue-in-cheek. I guess instead of

That's the question.
I really hope that's not the case. I you lose the ecosystem you lose the Android advantage. Then again Android it's already pretty fragmented.
I guess they will release a custom skin (like HTC does).
They want to do some custom things with user interaction, involving gestures and accelerometers....
I guess that's why they want to release their own SDK...
As the Android code gets more tablet friendly this will no longer be an issue.

Exactly, I just need a decent ebook app, pdf viewer, media player, and a browser.
(Hell, I might just run Ubuntu and Calibre.....
)
Anyway, they know that app and content distribution will be really important, they are expected to compete with Apple.
