system. And Google Play Android apps has reached 48 BILLION downloads.
Android is also on a path to take over desktops and laptops. A new Galaxy
Smart Dock allows your Android phone to become a desktop computer by
connecting an HD monitor, external storage, USB keyboard and mouse for
just $99. Now an Android phone can also be your entire desktop computer.
Hardware will only get better and cheaper and the Android OS is free.
I doubt that Android is actually on any path to take over anything.
Android is often replaced on ARM devices with a boot master based on linux. WebOS is a linux based android type phone application that didn't have the support of Google (like Android). Android is good for what it does, but it is in no way staged to replace Linux, BSD, Unix, Windows.
So what is the future for computers with a $100 or $200 or more
anti-trust "tax" built in for M$ or Apple?

Good question! I believe a great number of changes for anti-trust taxation are on the horizon. But I am not interested in Corporate Law, Copyrights and taxation.
