My Favorite Quote:

“If Google didn’t act, we face a draconian future. One man, one company, one
device would control our future,” Gundotra told attendees at the conference,
making a clear swipe at Apple — without mentioning Apple by name. “If you
believe in openness and choice, welcome to Android.”

Something else of interest is that there are either just arriving or
forthcoming Android devices that include HDMI. Now what's also interesting
about HDMI is that the forthcoming 1.4 spec also includes support for
ethernet traffic.
