"What Motorola has done is incredibly savvy. It has relied on Google, but only up to a point. I think the companies that embrace Android and see it as a growth opportunity should keep their options open as much as possible by developing unique user interfaces and releasing several flavors of Android devices. That way, they can choose to work closely with Google on certain phones if they wish, but can also avoid the delays that Motorola and Samsung are experiencing this week by going their own way on other devices, like Sony Ericsson apparently has done.
The case of China may turn out to be an isolated incident; after all, the phones have not been cancelled. But Android licensees would be wise to do more than just click 'I'm feeling lucky.'"
