A few companies have spoken out about the new Android Open Handset Alliance with Google, Palm was the first to blink but now some of the big boys have started to downplay the relevance of Android and these are Apple, Microsoft, Nokia and Symbian. Nokia who are the big boys in the cell phone industry has said that they do not perceive any danger from such an alliance.
