Looks like Google is no better than Apple when it comes to control of the platform. If you've purchased one of Google's Android Phones and have installed an application that violates Google's Terms of Service (or maybe just competes against Google) then ZAP! Google will kill it. I can see why content producers and software companies would want to build a monopoly into their hardware, but I don't see even for a minute why people would support that.
