It&apos;s good to see that they aren&apos;t afraid; they don&apos;t seem themselves in a weakened position and they do desperately need the legal force that Google can provide to be on their side.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>kenjackson</author><text>I doubt they all believe it, but they all want it to be true.  At this point going on record for something they hope Google will do costs them very little.&lt;p&gt;But it is a bit telling that they didn&apos;t have an actual statement to make.  I suggest the CEO&apos;s office of these companies is trying to make sense of the deal still.&lt;p&gt;How they really feel will be more apparent in statements about Windows Phone.  They&apos;ll still state the party line on Android for a while, but if Samsung and HTC start openly talking about positive reception of WP devices and excitement around Mango then there&apos;s been an internal change in tune.</text></comment>
