Google's Android sinking further and further into quicksand

When a technical project like Google's Android is mired in the quicksand of slipping delivery dates and bailing developers (who are abandoning Android faster than rodents from a sinking Titanic), it's hard for all those still stuck in that quicksand to see all the struggling just makes them sink faster into the pit.

See:

HTC rumored to be slipping delivery of Google Android

Here's a quote: 

 Handset maker [HTC] is "having 
 structural problems to incorporate 
 Google’s demanded feature set"; 
 HTC is "demanding a guaranteed 
 minimum revenue surety from Google", 
 from which Chowdhry concludes that 
 "Probably HTC does not think there 
 will be enough demand for GPhone."
But, I'm sure a company like Google can pull out of this. No problem. Just like Google Video, right? Oh, wait... bad example. They canned Google Video (for YouTube), didn't they? :-)
