AT&T to Android — It’s Not You, It’s Me

Some relationships just aren’t meant to be. Take AT&T and Android, for example. Since the Apple iPhone is a cash cow for the carrier, I’m thinking that there isn’t much chance for AT&T customers to experience Google Android devices in the near future. Scott Moritz at The Street sheds a little light on my thought, reporting that, “AT&T canceled plans to carry Google Android-powered phones later this year.†This news hits just as Motorola enters the Android market at our upcoming Mobilize 09 conference, where they’ll announce at least one device running Google’s operating system.
The AT&T and Apple relationship roots run very deep now — the two have dated on an exclusive basis since the initial iPhone announcement in January of 2007. If they keep this relationship up until 2014, some states would consider them in a common-law marriage! As long as AT&T carries Apple phones exclusively, I’m not sure they’ll offer an Android handset.
