Several events of the last days lit on Habré -
habrahabr.ru/blogs/Dura_Lex/85970 ,
habrahabr.ru/blogs/HTC/86118 suggest interesting reflections.
If you look at who is the real competitor of the IPhone at the moment, it turns out that this is not HTC, but rather Google with its Android.

Maybe not so independently?
Upd. In the comments I would like to hear your opinion about the very possibility of such a union, and of what dividends we, as consumers of the products of these companies, can bring this process in the future.
