-> But where ROX had only poor old Thomas Leonard to call on, Android has one of the great dot-coms to make it happen.

Something that Google does bring to the party is a single vision for how things will be. Whether you/we/I like it or not, there won't be hundreds of forks - there will be one end product. I have no doubt that they have unreleased test and trial and evaluation versions, but what actually comes out at the end of the day is Android.

I gave ROX a spin back in the day. It's a pity that it withered.
