Hasn't Google learned that free products do not make a good business model. For Android to be successful everyone need to make money. We need a company to take the Android helm before it drift away.

Hold on, are you saying Google aren't a company??!! You're kidding right? Not many dot com companies have achieved anywhere near the success of Google so i'm fairly sure they will manage to keep android on the path to world domination that they have have kept almost all things they get involved in do!
