Hampus Jakobsson, Co-Founder of Open Handset Alliance (OHA) member The Astonishing Tribe, predicts that the Android platform will pave the way for new phone manufaturers to enter the marketplace.
Speaking to TechRadar, Jakobsson had this to say:
“There will be an explosion of new phone manufacturers,” he said. “This is going to be really positive, especially from a user’s point of view.
“The actual building of the phone is simple, as it has become more commoditised over the years. The trick is getting the phone to appeal to the target audience.
“Android and the OHA will enable more companies to do that. Members of the group include not only manufacturers, but silicon vendors, UI builders, all the people someone would need to help build a device.”
