The Rush for Android

Interesting that Sony-Ericsson is the latest smart phone venture to not bother with it’s own operating system and instead adopt Google’s Android:

A spokesperson for Sony Ericsson says that the company has no plans to build new Symbian-based smartphones. Much like Motorola, which restored its competitiveness by dropping Symbian and its own in-house Linux effort in favor of Android in 2008, Sony Ericsson appears to be committed to Google’s mobile operating system.

This is interesting and it looks like for operating systems, the race is becoming tighter as the competition thins..
