Slashdot | Motorola To Hire 300 Android Developers

Almost all of us know the secret success sauce of Microsoft , but no one ever imagined if any other company would ever be able to replicate that. Microsoft focused on operating system , remained away from hardware (up until Xbox and June) and provided deep incentives to manufacturers using their Windows platform.

Google is repeating the same. A brilliant execution of strategy. They remained away from the lure of having their own handset (so far) and I hope they don't indulge in it. They are building an alliance of vendors around their platform and guess what they are giving the whole enchilada free of cost.

Last week we saw t-mobile unveiling the Android based handset and here you have Moto adding 300 heads for Android development. Moto has potential to do same with Google what Dell did with Microsoft.

One thing is sure, its going to redefine the future of computing and new theme is just around the corner. A success like MS can only be built whenever obvious is redefined. Microsoft got that opportunity with emergence of PC. Google can do the sme with emergence of smart phones.
