Since long, many predicted, starting by Nokia, Motorola and SonyEricsson, that the media player and mobile handset would converge. So it is obvious that the media player market leader by far, Apple, would be a serious challenger for the converged phone/mp3 device. So why Google/Android would have an option? The answer is Openness. Apple, Microsoft and Nokia enjoy proprietary systems on which to lock customers. If they want to defend their position against Android, they'd better show they are "open".
