I'll make you the same offer I did ISM. I think the iPhone is a popular product and it's not going away any time soon but like the Mac vs the PC, the iPhone will be a small percentage of the overall market vs Android. In fact I think Apple wants it that way. It helps preserve the elitist image.

Sure that's the case now. But let's not forget, Apple was first to market with a personal computer. The PC eclipsed them due to open standards for hardware and software. I maintain the Android phone will do the same thing for the same reason. I do however agree that the other "iPhone/iPod killers" were strictly posers. I wonder if Apple will take out full page ads welcoming Andriod to the market...

That would be the primary reason I won't be jumping on the Android band wagon just yet. I don't want a phone that goes wonkers on me when I need it. I'll give it some time to prove itself.
