Android Won't Be Home for Xmas
Google Has to Prove that It's More than A One-trick Pony

Android, due in the second half, could reportedly be delayed until Q4 or maybe even next year, according to the tale the Wall Street Journal tells, a situation that opens up a can of worms for Google.

Google has to prove that it’s more than a one-trick pony and that it can deliver something other than beta software.

The paper says Google is so absorbed with getting a T-Mobile Android phone out in Q4 that Sprint Nextel and China Mobile have fallen by the wayside.

Sprint may drop out to do a 4G phone and China Mobile is having trouble translating Android into Chinese.

Meanwhile handset makers’ efforts to customize the widgetry for carriers is taking longer than expected; there seems to be some difficulty integrating carrier-branded services into the thing alongside Google’s apps.

The Journal also says that Android isn’t getting backing from the mobile ISVs because the platform isn’t stable – Google is constantly revising it – and anyway Apple’s iPhone is easier to develop for.
