I'd also like to see customer satisfaction numbers, profit by manufacturer, profit by developer and so on. So many of the questions aren't about simple volume they're about what can be monetised and who can make profit out of it. Right now iOS seems to be sitting very pretty in those terms and that's the shift I'd be looking for from Android. But I'm not sure it's really even that big a fight. I suspect that final position after this plays out will be both iOS and Android sitting atop the pile with decent market shares followed by everyone else scrabbling for what's left. The really interesting questions are around RIM (who I personally still think have a future), Nokia, Palm and Microsoft. All companies who in one way or another have been significant in the mobile, handheld or phone markets and all companies who seem to be struggling to a greater or lesser extent in the new world.
