Android started as a successful mobile platform. However, evidence is showing that Android has a bright future on other consumer electronic devices (laptops, multimedia devices, telecom, etc). It's a great platform and definitely has a future.

Article: The Schema Proliferation Problem in Kafka and Flink Pipelines: How to Solve It
