Competing on price is the one fool-proof way to always defeat Apple. Google must hammer Apple on price! Besides, is sheer craziness to just let Apple rule the smart phone market and let them have 40% profit margins!
Just as hardware and marketing is not in Google's DNA, so to the race to the bottom commodity pricing is not in Apple's DNA. Apple simply cannot compete on price.
We geeks get caught up in the tech side of things and don't even blink at paying upwards $2,500 for the total cost of a contract-locked smart phone for two years. But give the average non-tech person a choice between a $2500 iPhone, or a $200 unlocked Android that they can use on any carrier. It's obvious which choice the majority of consumers will make.
