Google won another case against Android and its apps – Pplware

The Google presence on Android is a difficult reality to get around . Besides being one of the largest investors in this project, is also the company that has easier access to applications and to a store where anyone can publish it creates.

This control that turns out to have the Android turns out not to be well received and has led many people to try to ward off Google, reducing the dependency that exists.

After another process have been raised against Google and the imposition making its applications the company in the research turned out to be flawless and it was understood that such control does not exist.

The case in question, placed in court by a group of North American users, intended to prove that Google has too much control on Android and that would require companies that create equipment based on this operating system to use your applications and your search engine.

These users wanted to show that Google is limiting the chances of choice for users and other search engines like Bing are prevented from being used or that their applications, such as YouTube, are necessarily present and can not be replaced.

As a result of this monopoly competitors equipment are necessarily more expensive, which would lead to the Google was the cause that the market was not able to offer other alternatives.

The process was being examined by Judge Judge Beth Labson Freeman, the court in San Jose, California, and in his opinion, that then gave the closing process, the complainants were not able to prove that these practices would be Google to influence the market and the price of competitive devices.

As a result of this assessment of the judge, the case against Google ended and once again the giant managed to escape unharmed research more lawsuit.

This is not the first situation in which Google finds himself dragged into the courts to have their services too embedded in the operating system that helps develop.

In all the above situations the company managed to circumvent the accusations made and kept all the integrating their services and applications on Android.

Despite the case being with a negative assessment to the side of the plaintiffs, they may still alter the evidence presented and try to convince the judge that the charges are real, but it is very unlikely that they can change the current result.

It will not be simple to see the Android without being based on Google in its search engine and its applications, but there is already a move to try to change this dependency and creating new versions more open and more facing the choices of users
