Google tightens grip on Android
Google (GOOG) is tightening its grip on its Android software, and Google's partners are said to be upset. The company's agreements with Android partners are said to be more "onerous" now and reportedly include "non-fragmentation clauses" that give Google video power over tweaks others want to make to Android. Additionally, sources say Google has "tried to hold up" some Verizon (VZ, VOD) Android devices that use Microsoft (MSFT) Bing as its search engine. Some companies have complained to the Justice Department.
