There are some ignorant assumptions and conclusions in this article. I second the idea that the N1 is not being carried because the Incredible is better, so why duplicate options.
Also, Motorola switching location based services has nothing to do with Android.
As far as the MS/HTC mess, Windows Mob- err.. Windows 7....ummm, whatever its called this week, is not making any great strides in the market, and even though HTC has a great suface UI, they still rely on other OSs, such as Android, which they still do.
Where is the shift, "away" from Android? Is there a phone company that had ALL android phones that is not carrying that many anymore? Last time I checked, Android phones were hitting the market more and more. Not less.
