Poor Andy Rubin. As the head of Android development for Google he has what seems to be the best job in the world and the worst job in the world at the same time. It's the best job because Android is exploding in popularity and he can leverage the power of Google to do some really great things in the mobile space. But at the same time, it's the worst job because all that innovation he comes up with is clearly under the thumb of the carriers and OEMs that Google has partnered with for Android. Don't believe me? Just read Rubin breathlessly apologizing for the carriers and OEMs in his interview with PC Magazine. When asked why some OEMs are still releasing phones with Android 1.6 on them, Rubin says:
MANTECH INTERNATIONAL MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES LSI LINEAR TECHNOLOGY . LEXMARK INTERNATIONAL LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS
