However, given the recent revelations regarding Google’s approach to quality control, or lack there of this war may be over before it even gets started.”

The title of that post is stupid, especially coming from a site about Android. They just want to stir things up. Besides that, the whole premise is STUPID. Here is what I commented on their site:
So I suppose you would prefer if Comcast (or whoever your internet provider is) had to approve of all applications that went on your computer that ran over the network?
That’s basically what we are dealing with right now. You’re not even considering the business aspect. I work for a fleet management company and we do most of our tracking via GPS enabled phones. For EVERY SINGLE CARRIER we have to go through a certification process. It is not free. They reserve the right to refuse certification for any reason - they also reserve the right to cancel certification for any reason at any time.
With Sprint we spent months trying to get certified before finding out that the department that handled that was disbanded. We have just recently (a few months after that news) finding the new department that can help us get certified. We have to pay an initial fee and a fee every time we want to recertify - which we have to do whenever we change any code at all.
Yeah, no problem there.
I couldnt agree more
