As you would expect, Steve Ballmer showed his love for Android thrashing at a recent BBC talk. This isn't the first time he has said this(nor the last),
"You've got to remember Android is version one....and it looks like version one",
"They've got one handset maker, we've got 55. They're available through one operator, we've got 175.

Mr Ballmer said an open-source solution would not be attractive to phone manufacturers, and predicted that Windows Mobile phones would stay ahead of Blackberry, iPhone and Android in the smartphone market.

Moving on to Nokia, no love for Android here too, heres what Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo recently said about Android, "It is a newcomer here. I think the jury is still out: What is the new thing it brings here? I realised that we could have made the same announcements 10 years ago." Yeah right and after ten years, Nokia suddenly woke up and open sourced their OS just after Android was announced, quite a strategy i must say.<object height="0" width="0">
