It's time for Android to spin off google too. Their new "Did you know google made a PHONE?" commercial feels like terrible marketing. They should market it something like: "Android, powered by Google", and take advantage of the view that google is at least seen as a modern bell labs (by normals at least), so people can get the feeling that smart people are working on android. Otherwise I don't think anyone really knows android and google are the same (present company excluded).

Was a bit surprised it got past the lawyers re:antitrust, it's very heavy on "You already use EVERYTHING Google"

Yes and next anti-trust should break up Microsoft for bundling office and break up the cable companies for bundling cable channels. We should also get rid of BigFastFood because McDonalds bundles hamburgers, fries and a drink...
