It's a pretty hefty meatball to toss out there, I realize, and a funny thing to hear in a column about Android - but it's something we've been building up to for quite a while now. Well, it's time to stop beating around the bush and just say what Google won't openly acknowledge: You should not be buying an Android tablet in 2020. And that forces Google to do a delicate dance in order to push forward with its own plans without saying anything that'd go directly against a device-maker's interests. The company has its own platform-wide priorities and ways it wants its ecosystems to evolve, but it also has the goals of all the third-party manufacturers that create hardware for those virtual environments to consider.Īnd guess what? Google's priorities and the desires of the companies making the bulk of the devices don't always align.
As the gatekeeper of Android, Google frequently finds itself in an awkward position.
