Android phones in China are more 'Android open source' rather than Android in the way we are all used to here. So a lot of phones don't have Google Play, etc.
Android is ahead of the iPhone now.
Android is very different from the GNU/Linux operating system because it contains very little of GNU. Indeed, just about the only component in common between Android and GNU/Linux is Linux, the kernel.
Apple created Android, or at least created the conditions necessary for Android to come into being
I believe Android will be stronger in the developing world than it is in the developed world.
Android's user-space is so different from stock Linux, you can easily say that Android is not in any way a Linux system, except for the kernel.
The interesting thing about Android's design is how little we modified the kernel.
One of my big regrets is that Facebook hasn't had a major chance to shape the mobile operating system ecosystem.
