I don't see Android as a failure yet. I own G1, can't say that I love it very much thou. In the news you see more and mopre Manufacturers and carriers picking up on this platform, so do independend developers. The biggest danger for Android, IMHO, is that it can be customized and changed to the point of no recognition. And I believe this is exactly why Open Source didn't become main OS neither in a consumer nor business markets. Look how many flavours Linux has! And there's no compatability standard for them! That means software that runs great on Ubuntu will not be running on Fedore, or something else... So, it may be not a big problem for Tech Geeks, but your average not that tech savvy customer would rather go for something that he or she won't have to spend more time and money to make their computer working if they decide to change a flavour, or learn how to use it if they change their jobs. Of course, there's great unexpansive soft s.a. Open Office, etc... but still...
