The Future of Android — Does It Belong To Bing and Baidu?
hype7 writes "Given the recent publicity about Android and Google, the Harvard Business Review are offering another interesting perspective. They argue that Google runs a serious risk of losing control of Android, as competitors such as Bing and Baidu move in. It certainly presents an interesting possibility — that Android could win but Google wouldn't see any benefit out of it."
The Android Market doesn't require an exclusive agreement, so they don't need to make developers switch, they just need to make them use both app stores. And, unlike the iPhone, app stores are not the only places to get apps, you can grab them from anywhere.
