Android Exec Would Welcome a Partnership with RIM

[citation][nom]Zingam_Duo[/nom]Seriously, why is Android any better? I don't think that Android is better than what BB10 could be.The only really good thing about Android is that it is open source and that's about it. Seriously a Java phone that's in a permanent Beta state with laggy UI = not good!iOS is also Meh....[/citation]
Seriously!? You are comparing shipping and upto-date product against vaporware?! Both my Android and my iPad have their performance issues or crashes. noting that takes a few seconds to fix.

So, are you saying that Apple and MS are always done with their OSes? Funny, there is WP7.0, 7,5 and 7.8. WP8 uses the NT kernel OS (this means bloat for a mobile device).
iOS has already gone through a few versions of 5.0x... 6.0 comes out next year... hmmm, its a moving target too.

BB10 has not reached 1.0 and likely-hood of that happening is 1% IMHO.

PS: just watched on Youtube, the BB10 preview... not bad... but 2013? Between now and then, more people will be buying 2-year contract phones, which are customers RIM loses.
PS2: the AD that showed up over the BB10 video was... Samsung's galaxy 3...

Well, bb10 is already half android... Just without the Android Market.

I am no Apple fan but I seriously hate every Microsoft OS version since DOS 2.0!!! I really wish Windows Phone to fail but I could describe myself as Google fan actually. I wish there are other independent alternatives like RIM and Nokia with Meego. I am fine with Apple but I don't want Microsoft to pollute the Web and the Mobile markets any more!

This would be a terrible idea. Only if Google stopped leeching on foundations built by other companies. I doubt I'd see that day, unfortunately.
