In my opinion Apple does need to worry about Android. Android is improving at a faster rate than iOS and is gaining faster momentum. Developers are catching on and more are starting to see the potential behind Android. However the biggest advantage for Android is price and variety. At Virgin Mobile you can get an Android device, Samsung Interceptor, for under $200 with no contract and pay just $25/month for unlimited data and 300 minutes, taxes included. That's amazing. I love my iPhone 4, but if Virgin Mobile had a slightly better Android phone like a Droid than I'd be tempted to switch. Sure Apple has the emotional appeal, but how can you argue with saving $1000+ over 2 years? Apple needs a stronger argument with the iPhone. The iPod touch and iPad are priced very aggressively. That's why it's difficult for competition to get a hold. But in my opinion the iPhone is overpriced and Apple is raking in the profits. Why is the iPhone priced $400 more than a iPod touch? Doesn't make sense. Its price abuse. Apple should price the iPhone more aggressively. And get some variety out there.
