AT&T Rejects Google's Android

AT&T CEO Ralph De La Vega is no fan of Google's Android mobile operating
system.
De La Vega says AT&T is evaluating Android and "is not prepared" to
carry phones featuring the newly launched OS on its network. "The
platform is still evolving and needs to open up even more to offer a
wider array of non-Google applications," quotes the San Francisco
Chronicle.
The comments come two weeks after Sprint CEO Dan Hesse expressed similar
sentiments when he said Android isn't good enough yet to put the Sprint
brand on it.
This is not good news for Google. The success of Android will eventually
depend on how telecom carriers in North America embrace devices with the
OS.
So far, only T-Mobile seems to have jumped on to the Android bandwagon.
The company was the first to launch the HTC G1 phone based on Android.
Can Google convince others to sign on?
