Yes, Android has a forking problem. Google forked its
mobile, open-source operating system into two versions: Android 2.x
for smartphones and Android 3.x for tablets earlier this year. It
also doesn’t help Android any that there are so many different
supported versions out in the market. But, what Amazon and Baidu
are doing with their forthcoming tablets has nothing to do with
forking Android.
