The BBC’s Rory Cellan-Jones is a rather lucky fella. He’s got the HTC Flyer and the Motorola Atrix on test right now and examines the threat they pose to the iPad. He makes some valid points about this…
So, two innovative ways of taking mobile computing forward on Google’s platform, and there are bound to be more as the ever bigger Android crowd provides an attractive market to target.
That should worry Apple, which tends to upgrade its products just once a year, and must now compete with innovations coming from a whole range of manufacturers.
What may comfort Steve Jobs and co, however, is that they are still providing a more complete ecosystem, as the jargon has it.
It’s interesting to see how useful he found the HTC Flyer in particular, and how much of a bonus that stylus actually is.

Great comment on that blog in answer to Rory Cellan-Jones’ “What may comfort Steve Jobs and co, however, is that they are still providing a more complete ecosystem”…
“The problem with a “complete ecosystem” is that it equates to a prison.
You
are kept safe and secure. All of your needs are catered for. You just
can’t get out or do anything the Governor doesn’t like.”
Really like the look of the Atrix with it’s fingerprint reader and Android mobile App’s but it’s been out in the UK for a few months and still not available on Vodafone or O2. What’s going on!
