Google's Android operating system may be a victim of its own success.
More than 6 million handsets shipped in 2009 using Google's Android software. And the forecast in 2010 is that this figure will triple with shipments possibly topping out at 20 million this year. But a new study from IMS Research indicates that the rapid pace of Android's growth could cause more fragmentation, which could ultimately harm Android's potential as a leading smartphone operating system.
The problem is that in going from the 1.5 version of the software to 2.1, Google has released four different versions of the software, which are incompatible with each other.
