Broadcom increased its bet on the Android mobile operating system on
Tuesday, announcing additional capabilities for its software stack and a
new chip for navigation in Android-based devices.

The company added support for Bluetooth 3.0 and for the Wi-Fi Direct
specification to its software stacks for Android devices. By using some
Wi-Fi technology, Bluetooth 3.0 increases the maximum throughput of the
personal-area networking standard to more than 20M bps (bits per second)
from roughly 2.1M bps. Wi-Fi Direct allows wireless LAN client devices,
such as smartphones and PCs, to communicate directly without going
through an access point.

device market. ...

I wonder what effect the removal of the Android Kernel code from the
Linux Kernel will have on that guestimate.

They also may have to revise the guestimate since Symbian is now open
source.
