product-line

Android is an open source operating system that is modified by cell phone vendors (HTC, Motorola, etc.). Modifications include the user interface, drivers, and other proprietary extensions.

Traditionally, product lines have been a suite of products or services that share a core set of functionality and are modified for different domains and markets.

Does this still qualify as a product line?
