LiMo vs Android, the Analysis

With Verizon’s announcement to join the LiMo group we have a battle royal starting to develop between them and Android. Ironically LiMo is the incumbent if you figure longevity. Now I could sit down and run off the TBar analysis but MobileCrunch has already done such a nice job why waste their thunder?

My only quibble will be point #3 on their hit parade. I don’t think it actually matters anymore as the underlying hardware the handset uses is doubling in power faster than Moore’s law. Given one more iteration of processors and I could make the argument that an embedded browser with XUL- Javascript might be a better development platform. Regardless the advancing hardware growth makes the issue moot over the long haul.
