The Open Handset Alliance -- the raucous group of firms officially supporting and contributing to Android's development -- has added a staggering 13 new members today, including Freescale (Moto's former chip unit) and China Telecom, China's EV-DO carrier.Update: We still don't have have a press release from the OHA for some reason, but the Alliance's Members page appears to be updated, at least in part (Telecom's listed, for example).
Microsoft to Freescale: "you are a member of the rebel alliance and a traitor!"
@Prospero Yeah, and we all know how *that* rebellion turned out, don't we?

@Discipulus Hey, the Empire might strike back but when you can't defeat a bunch of animated teddy bears you pretty much deserve to be on the trash heap of history.
Something tells me we're about to see history repeating itself.
God forbid you list out all 13 members or link us to the press release!

And it's 14 new members, not 13.
@COCOViper
Ok just realized that release is from 2008- now would be a good time to have an edit function to hide my shame...
@Kero There's no PR yet -- we're waiting on it. That's why we have "developing" at the end of the piece there.
@Chris Ziegler Ninja edit!

@joshky
you must read "Open" from Open Handset Alliance or "Open" in Android in the same way that you read "Intelligence" in CIA.
