#3Well... given his track record, I'd say this sets up Android to be an enormous success.
This says a lot about Microsoft's stance on the phone market as well (we won't innovate unless we can make serious money!).

#4if you're going to get talking about a competitor making a big move, never say "i don't understand their strategy" or "they don't have a strategy"
of course they do. and you just look like a schmuck when you tell the world basically that you don't care enough to do some simple research and come up with some pretty common sense conclusions.
if search is your money maker, and mobile is the new vogue, what do you do to get it so that your search is what everyone will be using?
android is a genius solution, google paid mozilla for years for control of search on firefox, then they came to their senses and made chrome. android is simply a leapfrog of a similar mistake. sure they can partner with RIM and Winmo and Symbian and Apple, OR they can make their own platform, innovate its features, open it to attract a huge base of developers and manufacturers, and tie core features to its own products seamlessly.

#5He also dismissed iPhone initially and didn't understand why people would buy it. How can the CEO of one of the world's most well-known technology companies be so completely clueless about technology?

Hey, if he's a good reverse-oracle, then that's valuable too!

#7He is just trying to publicly discredit the competition. If you actually think Microsoft is ignoring Android internally, then you are very mistaken. He was asked a question about it and answered it. His only realistic options were to do what he did and talk about it in a negative sense or politely refuse the question. What else would you expect him to say? He's not going to legitimize a competitors product, especially this early in Android's life cycle.

#8I wonder if this is how AltaVista felt about Google.
"Don't those propellerheads from Stanford know that we already have perfectly good search engines? Interesting, but not compelling."

#9What I would do for the audio of Ballmer saying "blah dee blah dee blah"....
After audio and video of him hooting, howling and above all sweating profusely to the sounds of Gloria Estefan surfaced on the Internet, perhaps audio/video of his appearances has become restricted.
