An absolutely excellent summary of the state of play between Google and its major competitors.

I do believe that if Android goes in this direction that Google will quickly catch up with IOS based devices and also give Microsoft a run for its money.
This is good for ebooks and publishing. if the there is an open, fully functional, OS available for multiple manufacturers its keeps the market 'honest'... prices will be lower and innovation will be strong.
Ereaders on Windows 8 or Android 4.0 / 5.0 will be good for authors who need to have multiple channels to sell their work. If the mobile 'pie' is bigger there will be more 'slices' available for content suppliers.
I have always admired Google and I do believe they have the most successful business model.
Good luck!
