Android has been so popular that even the Army wants specially-designed battle phones on Android for its soldiers. A nonprofit by the name of MITRE is in the process of developing a prototype and is currently codenamed Joint Battle Command-Platform. This platform is designed with a military purpose in mind.

Of course, what caught the attention of the army was how much technology that can put into a small little device and how it could be of great use on the battlefield. Of course, there is the issue of security and the like, but the Army believes in the underlying security architecture of Android itself. And that should be good news for the Android. Perhaps we may get to see a Defense-Google collaboration in the new future.
