> Edit: As an aside, I've been surprised (though perhaps I shouldn't be) how many of my non-tech friends don't even really identify "Android" as a brand - when I tell people we develop for Android, I often get a blank stare - they don't realize that the Droid, Nexus One, etc. have much of anything in common. A branding failure, on the one hand - but also an opportunity to correct some of these other issues. I think that's a big plus for Google. "Android vs iPhone" doesn't make much sense since it's a comparison between a platform and a product line (as you essentially stated earlier), but "Nexus One vs iPhone" is something people can understand, and something which (right now anyway) tends to favor the Nexus One (to those who have used neither).
