Google to Trim Android Bloatware a Bit
What's next?
Are they going to stop pizza places from including toppings because of how unfair it is for pepperoni sales at the local market?
Shirts probably shouldn't include buttons then because it's unfair to third party button makers.
If they want to include extras in their product then let them. Obviously people are happier with their product over the competition, givin their market share. If people really don't like it then buy an iPhone or Blackberry or a Windows Phone. If enough start doing that, Google will respond accordingly.

Maps, or even Mapquest?), and they keep expanding into more and more areas.

What Monopoly!?!?!
Google is NOT Microsoft! You also have Apple (Which is a monolith unto it's self), BlackBerry (Who was the king of Smartphones at one point), Microsoft who is King of the Desktop's. The EU needs to worry about there internal issues, like fixing Greece. Which is more important then a damned OS.
