Is there any indication that Google might change the Android release model when faced with competition? Maybe in 3.0 or 4.0? If they maintain their development speed, they may release Android 4.0 in about the same time with competitors' next major release.

I don't think they can due to licencing issues, although they could offer an optional service which would GREATLY help.

Could you elaborate on that point? I'm unfamiliar with any licencing issues that would restrict this activity. I'm not an android developer, though.
