with Google is that they seem to have left their balls at the door.
From what I've heard from Google, I think with Android they're already sensitive about the perception that they're the "500 pound gorilla in the room" and they're keen to reassure the carriers and the phone manufacturers that they're not taking full control of their businesses.
Even though I think many people at Google would like to see things unfold differently, they also want to see Android adopted widely as its path to success (breadth instead of depth.) The art of compromise.
I think if you buy a N1 then you can still have a "google-centric" Android experience, though. For now.
