I'm with you guys about not wanting to develop toward yet another fork such as Facebook.
I am interested though in the devices from Archos. They have a 2.4" model that is supposed to sell for under $100. The 3.2" model is selling for $150. I'm thinking about getting them for my kids. Great way for them to play music, study, read an eBook, etc. As long as these devices keep getting upgraded with more versions of Android, then I wouldn't think of it as a forked distribution. 2010/9/20 Cédric Beust ♔ <ced...@beust.com> > > > 2010/9/20 Fabrizio Giudici <fabrizio.giud...@tidalwave.it> > > On 9/20/10 13:53 , Cédric Beust ♔ wrote: >> >>> There are already dozens of manufacturers/third parties/carriers that >>> forked Android and shipped products with it without ever notifying Google >>> about it. >>> >>> Android was designed to allow that, I don't understand where all the >>> outrage about Facebook is coming from. >>> >>> BTW, can you enumerate some?
