Wine-soaked misanthrope John C. Dvorak has offered his opinions on Android and the OHA, and they're predictably piquant.

He bashes Rubin ("a strikeout artist"). He bashes the Sidekick ("less a phone and more a gizmo"). He bashes the iPhone ("being used more as a photo album than a phone").

He does, however make a couple of good points. We haven't seen Android yet, let alone a phone running the OS; is it really prudent to be tossing around all this hype? And his comments about the nature of strategic alliances are an extension of some of my own fears - how often do these 'foundations' and 'alliances' actually pan out to be anything more than good intentions and PR grabbing?

John: if this whole thing does go down in flames, or even peters out with a whimper, then I'm buying the Chardonnay.
