The very idea that someone with the clout of Google would release something that promotes open architecture in mobile content is a direct threat to their precious walled gardens. More importantly it will act as a driver for more enterprise based participation on mobile content and especially from those enterprises that are not traditionally thought of as mobile content players.

BTW, I see Android as an extension of the collaboration model that was successfully pioneered by NTT DoCoMo -- the apparent global leader in the mobile Internet access and VAS related space.
