It’s all over tech blogs, it seems Google’s doing the very thing they criticized their competition for. They’re closing up, that’s right, no more ‘open’ Android.

Google has reached out to the major carriers and device makers backing its mobile operating system with a message: There will be no more willy-nilly tweaks to the software. No more partnerships formed outside of Google’s purview. From now on, companies hoping to receive early access to Google’s most up-to-date software will need approval of their plans. And they will seek that approval from Andy Rubin, the head of Google’s Android group.

Can someone please tell me if this is an April fools joke? Is this some kind of ‘bait and switch?’ Ahhhh
