The Android Invasion Cometh; Is Resistance Futile? 410
DeviceGuru writes "Last month, we learned from Gartner that Android will probably be the number-two worldwide mobile OS this year, and may lead the pack by 2014. With Android's growing use as the OS embedded in phones, in tablets, in set-top boxes, and in LCD HDTVs, it seems like the Linux-based OS could end up dominating the entire non-PC consumer device operating system space. What do Slashdot readers think: Is resistance futile?"

I'd rather see MeeGo taking a sizeable portion of market from Android. With MeeGo, desktop Linux skills suddenly become very relevant in job market, and we'll get more desktop software (eventually).
With Android, Java skills are everything and... um... we got more people capable of doing Websphere/JBoss stuff? What a victory would that be.
Nobody cares about you being unemployed with your irrelevant linux skills.

bad idea - like growing nothing but potatoes.
I'm having trouble with your analogy:
boiled
mashed
stuck in a stew
baked
french fries
stuffed
potato skins
chips
vodka!
Maybe if you'd used a car analogy instead...

Yes. Everybody drinking water is bad. Doesn't matter that you can make juice out of it, or soda, or beer... water as the base for all of it is horribly insecure and dangerous!
