Andy's Ranks Are Swelling, But Does He Need a Desktop App?

"A quick trip to your local Verizon (NYSE: VZ), Sprint or T-Mobile store is all it takes to find evidence that Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) Android platform is quickly joining the ranks of big-league smartphone platforms. But while the most visible evidence of Android's rise comes from the high-profile phone launches provided by Motorola (NYSE: MOT), HTC, and Samsung (not to mention Google itself), the statistical proof is even more impressive. Here are a few of the most recent examples"

The numbers for our little Android friends are looking good: Better scores, higher numbers of apps, lots of ad dollars. But Motley Fool makes an interesting assertion: That Google Needs a desktop client to provide an iTunes like experience on Android. Personally I only use DoubleTwist on the desktop to move music and keep playlists in check. If a suitable on-device app were to do that, I wouldn't want a desktop tether in any form. What about you - does Android need an iTunes-like desktop app? Or should Google focus on making Andy and his buddies as mobile as possible by cutting the USB cord?
