I swear, the more and more I see how companies react, the more I think we are still in grade school with bullies. Grow the eff up and get some balls to say "eff you provider we wont do that now go blow yourself."

Yeah, and T-Mobile tells Google to go away. There are lots of handset designers/manufacturers--there's only a few wireless operators. Basically Google needs T-Mobile's network way more than T-Mobile needs Google's phone.
You have it backwards, T-Mobile needs Google because that is what will allow them to attract more users. Google could have gone with any provider, hell, even when Google signed up with T-Mobile they didn't even have complete 3G coverage.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-News-Flash-Google-is-a-Business-22176840 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 12:15:28 EDT Re: News Flash -- Google is a Business http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-News-Flash-Google-is-a-Business-22175546 said by k1ll3rdr4g0n:

They gave up living the whole "don't be evil" mantra long ago.

Does anyone seriously expect them not to act the same way any other business would?

If Android continues to allow manually installed unsigned apps going forward, great, but no one should be surprised if it gets locked down after an encounter with the Marketplace, or an update, or...

P.S. I'm not addressing TMobile, as I know no one's surprised about that part of it. :)
With the OS being open source, if they disabled the ability for unsigned apps to be installed, the OS would probably be forked and something like Ubuntu would spawn. I'm sure google knows this, and T-Mobile. What the providers don't know is by being secret about it, they are only hurting their image. If google came out and said "We pulled the app because T-Mobile told us they didn't like it.", well at least its passing the blame, but right now the fingers seem to be pointing at both companies.
