Despite earlier speculation, the rumors of a possible Android and LiMo collaboration have been quashed. Google claims that they are close to completion with their technology and any kind of input from anyone else would ruin the user experience. Thus they have no interest in LiMo.

This may prove tough for Google in the long run as they are starting to fall behind fast in the market. Despite the end of the year estimate from Android’s Eric Chu for Android’s release, LiMo might already have another round of phones on the market. This will be loss ground for Google.

What to do you think? Any preferences towards either system? Is all the Android hype worth the wait? Will the release date even effect google?
