Google's Android mobile phone stack will fork into multiple versions, according to Symbian's research chief David Wood.

Speaking at the Handsets World conference in Berlin, Wood claimed there will be "multiple Androids in two years' time".

Symbian has previously dismissed mobile Linux as being too fragmented in its nature, but that was before Google's Open Handset Alliance (OHA) was formed or the LiMo Foundation really got going.
