Most of the local brand mobile phone manufacturers pessimistic about the future of Android operating system in the country. Because, in addition to its market has not seen, investment in mobile phone-based Android phones are relatively more expensive than non-Android phone.

"We are inspired by Steve Jobs. He was able to prove that the content and applications can be more profitable than handsets. This means, in the future, content does have a strong influence and value, "he said after launching Sarwo Bundling Package IMO-B199 AS Card in Jakarta, Thursday, March 25, 2010.
Because of that, he added, mobile vendors of local brands in the country have the initiative to create a market for Android, not merely wait for a good response from the market alone.
"markets or trends that do not come alone. It is associated with elements in the market ecosystem. If OEMs, operators in network providers, content developers, and regulators are mutually supportive, Android market will created by itself, "explained Sarwo.
As a pioneer in the realm of local brand mobile phone manufacturers are bringing Android to the product portfolio, this time, IMO continues to aggressively educate Androd
market." Aided by the operator, we will create a new Android penetration. We also want to open space as wide as possible for developers in Indonesia through the IMO-Droid App Store, "he
said." This is an excellent opportunity for them with Google's Android not need to be involved with the licensing issue again. So, this could be one of their creative container freely , "said Sarwo.
If the current developers to start creating new content specifically Android, Sarwo sure the community will begin to look ahead Android existence. "The developers use these days, but when the content is varied later, Android users will expand," he explained.
"BlackBerry also need to be a great time like now. So, I think it slowly Android market will grow their own," explained Sarwo.
