Taiwan smartphone makers warn Google attitude may lead to split in Android

Taiwan smartphone makers warn Google attitude may lead to split in Android

Anonymous sources at Taiwanese smartphone makers commented that Google's aggressive stand against the Aliyun operating system may result in an increased split in the adoption of Android. Sources state that if Google cracks down on modified Android platforms, developers of these platforms may be forced to offer own-brand smartphones or tablets and give up on Android.

In the West this doesn't seem like a major issue, but in China it could have bigger consequences:If Google cracks down by prohibiting smartphone vendors from adopting modified Android platforms, developers of modified Android platforms, such as Amazon, may skip vendors to directly partner with ODMs to offer their own-brand devices, with such platforms to set up their own ecosystems and thereby become more competitive with Android, the sources pointed out. For some China-based smartphone vendors which have adopted many locally developed applications, because losses arising from forgoing Android may be small, they may shift to a modified Android platforms.Among China-based smartphone vendors, only Huawei Technologies, ZTE, Lenovo, Haier, Oppo and a few others joined the Open Handset Alliance, the sources noted. As China is the largest smartphone market around the world, Google had better pay attention to response from web service operators, smartphone vendors and consumers, the sources pointed out.

So, has it actually been confirmed that Google stepped in to stop the Acer launch or are we still just taking Alibaba's word for it? Last thing I read, neither Acer nor Google was talking about it.

maybe in the future all different companies build their own android copy and make some kind of agreement so they can share apps between android's 'distros' and kick google out of the game

Imagine if somebody would pick iOS, modified it slightly and released it as their own iOS but still would use Apple store to gt apps etc :D I think it is a bit unfair by Aliyun. If they want something like that why dont they pick Android, develop some new cool features and contribute it towards Android?this way we all win

Except Google isn't in the wrong here.
A example for PC platform would be, if a Chinese company makes a online game platform, let's say called "Nuclear", except instead of selling Steam/Origin software, all of it is available for free, all you have to do is to install their "free" platform.

Or in phone case, if another company created an OS called, Jos, which has it's own shop that allows user to get all the iOS app for Free, without consent from t he origional app maker.
