They have been around mobile gadgets since the beginning of smartphones, there is no way a new company like Android could catch up to Symbian that fast.. Windows Mobile has been around for years and they haven't been able to even make a dent into Symbian's business, let alone a new mobile platform. You people don't even know what it is or how stable it is. I mean if Android was on its own we wouldn't even discuss this right now because all of you would know that to create such a platform to compete with Symbian is flat out suicide, but only because Google is behind it that should change something?? Google is not a OS company, they have a leading search engine.. how the are they going to give Android the know-how if they don't have the know-how??? It would be the same as if a new search engine was out there and Nokia would buy it and try to develop it and say we will make the Google search engine a run for its money!! It would sound retarded right? Well, how does it sound that Google claims it will make Nokia a run for its money in making phones?? It's retarded!

Here's a clue as to why you should be worried, Symbian: people developing for your platform don't like it very much. If Android is really as open as it's supposed to be, then you're going to have a REAL run for your money, and I'm sorry, but unless you make some real changes, you're probably going to lose. Up until this point you've only had to compete with Windows Mobile - get ready for a real fight, whether you want it or not!
