I'd agree with Ed, its a broader problem than just India, and a problem not
just based on market segments. I use Android devices often, but can not use
them as a serious tool for work because of what I would classify as serious
limitations in the OS and its internationalisation model. At moment mobile
devices are still toys unable to deal with most community languages I need
to work with or support in Australia, including many Latin script languages.

This is a limitation in all mobile OSes not just Android. I just have to
look through my facebook and google+ accounts to see many messages in
African and South East Asian languages that will not display.

I do love the irony of Android devices not being able to display all
content available through Google services.
