Fully agree that both sides of the coin are important. However, of the following potential developments:
1) New Android phones become much faster and/or have longer battery lives
2) New iPhones become much more open and less locked-down
I think #1 is much more likely.
- papachito 16y agoFroyo is already much faster.
- louismg 16y agoAgreed on this comment 100%. I think Android is going to have more handsets, manufacturers, carriers, and eventually users. Their products are going to continually improve. The recent past has shown momentum on the innovation side that is lapping iPhone, I believe. I don't think iPhone is going to open up at quite a rate.
- bruceboughton 16y agoEveryone seems to think that Android will eventually dominate the market because "the products are going to continually improve". Guess what, so is iPhone. Apple have made it clear that this is their primary business. They're in it to win it. This is not Google's primary business--it is a loss leader to support that business. I think it's far from inevitable that Android will win out (pettiness of the Apple vs. Google battle aside).
- louismg 16y agoI look forward to iPhone getting better. I understand your viewpoints as well. I hope the original article did not sound petty. That was not the intent.
