In Google’s quarterly earning conference call yesterday, CEO Eric Schmidt said “overall, it looks like Android is going to have a very strong year”. There certainly are a lot of manufacturers lining up to give Google’s mobile operating system a shot, but let’s face it – 2008 was a snoozer for Android. Google might be the God of the Internet, but they still reported their first quarter-on-quarter loss – Android’s really going to have to pull its weight if Google hopes to prevent further decline. I think we’re all pretty hopeful for the future Android, but to date it’s been disappointing, to say the least.
