So.... What is the name of your company, and which games have you made? I'm always interested in good, ad-free entertainment for the little ones. Especially with a long flight coming up this weekend.

[You] personally know thousands of others that fit in the exact same category.

"personally know thousands". Let that sink in.

Haven't the street view cars been down under yet?

I do that too (except it usually says kr/l or kr/kg here.). Sometimes I end up buying more than I need, though, because the unit price for bigger packets are that much lower. Doesn't mean that the packet will last me any longer, specially if it's chips, chocolate or fizzy drinks.

>Carriers have absolute control over the consumer sales channels

In the US. But here, on the other side of the pound, there's hardly any carrier specific additions or subtractions to/from android, just the manufacturers. The big EU markets have some (like Germany, France, UK), but unlocked phones are still always available, and many customers opt for those.

I think you're right about the situation when talking about North America, though.

Personally I've been burned by both HTC and LG on slow or no updates, so I will never by an Android phone that's not a nexus device again.

Edit: Unlocked and unbranded nexus device.

Really? I would be very interested in reading more about this. Got any sources? (Preferably in English or Norwegian ;) )
