The Kevlar Woven back on this thing should make it tough as nails.

Nice work Microsoft, everyone is rooting for you. How can you complain about email synchronization when you licensed out your Activesync protocol to Google?

Great news for everyone here.  Potentially Google can now fight off the threat from Microsoft and Apple’s patent acquisitions as well maintain a stronger control over the whole Android environment from hardware to software.  

Will this see a single product line finally take on the iPhone?  Difficult to say.  Samsung seem to be producing the nicest Android phones at the given moment but I don’t think Google are interested in delivering anything but the best Android experience.

No matter how you look at it, it’s going to be exciting times for the mobile arena in the not too distant future.
