Ha, this is something you are not going to get a shared agreement,  just a
bit of fights.

That being said, nothing is changing soon, android will keep entrenching
itself in the market due to being cheap. I think most of the developing
world will all hop into android world.  The IOS will retain a good share
especially in developed world.  Windows on phone may not be happening,
just look at their recent SEC filing.  In short, status quo.

world) because I view Apple's iSeries more of company driven, because in my
view, the Android world is more open to the new technologies. E.g., you can
put Ubuntu on Android devices now.

Android is not open according to some people.  They do share their code,
but only after the product has been in market for a while.

domain of current mobile development platform (in my so-called technology
driven world of course), I don't think it will be future, and I don't
believe Google is happy about the Java-based platform either. What do you
think? Which one will win over tomorrow?

What make you think Google is not happy about it? Never seen any article
that imply the hate Java, they actually used it a lot even before android
