The biggest drawback any device has is being carrier specific. That is a drawback for both the consumer and the device OEM.

Take the iPhone for example. Yes, Apple is getting crazy kickbacks from AT&T, but they would move many exponentially more units were they sold at all carrier outlets.

While the whole Google announcement was extremely underwhelming, they could have something if they can truly keep the platform open - both software and carrier wise.
