other companies might not want to use android if google sells their own as well, but I suppose they might.

of course now apple will be competing with google and microsoft.

The Microsoft will not selling any mobiles with Microsoft brand, instead they always to rely on the "valued partners" to shipping the mobile software (WM OS) because they don't want to get messed with the “valued partners” at the mobile hardware business from shipping Microsoft-branded phone. Shame on you Microsoft! True man ships hardware!
Maybe the hardware teams are full of monkeys (probably not) but let’s see how the Tom Gibbon RIPs the Mobile business. I’m interested to see how the Steve Ballmer would look like after the mobile business failure. Andy Lees do something!

If so, then that's really good news. As all the others (e.g. HTC HD2 are Windows Mobile, and Milestone are crippled at 500MHz) real crap!
