From the article:

> _"Can Android sales catch up to the iPhone?"_

Yes, of course it will. We're talking about a free OS that all the major
manufacturers have jumped behind - no way Apple can beat that.

The better question is: will the dominance of Android actually change anything
for the consumer, or will things be the same as they are currently (i.e.,
fractured UIs, no consistent experience, poor compatibility even within a
single manufacturer, etc)

Google IMHO has done a poor job so far keeping Android as a single unified
platform - it seems more and more like it's just a marketing word for
Motorola, HTC, et al to latch onto.

Probably in reference to the various API "profiles": IMP, MIDP, CLDC, and
myriad lesser-known acronyms:
