it's hard to say... What Google says is one thing and what goes on in the R/D dept at Motorola after the Android team moves in is another thing. My thinking is that it's about the mass market in the end. And Direct Connect is such a small slice of the pie in the overall picture that if the Android team even explores direct connect I would be very surprised. We will see how the new (Goomoto)company does. If you are a die hard Android fan like me

This has got to be a good thing it will just take time to sort out.
