As someone who will likely be doing a considerable Android port from scratch (hopefully one that does not suck too much) in the first half of next year, thank you for this intel. I think the iPhone user smugness starts at the very beginning - with the swipe to unlock. As Jerry Seinfeld (somewhat incorrectly) riffed in his latest show - "With these new phones you can't get all mad and yell <expletive> and slam the phone down - it has to be (Jerry pantomimes yelling on the phone and then gently swiping to hang up). Jerry also had a brilliant observation on how he goes to lunch with friends and they have their Blackberry in hand and they might be looking at you but they're really not - he termed it - they have painted doll eyes. But I digress, I believe long-term (2011) that you will not be taken seriously if you cannot deliver an Android app. A mobile web site is a poor substitute - and most defy my 1st law of mobile apps - the ability to work with it offline..
