Your argument is based on tangential statements relating to your mores. I made no moral or value judgements, just a simple analysis of the situation. None of what you said even addresses my central premise, that the ecosystem is the issue now. One killer app on the android will do absolutely nothing to the IOS ecosystem. If history is any guide, the only way to kill a functioning ecosystem is through some type of fundamental shift in technology, paradigm shattering change, or through long attrition with a competing ecosystem. Sure I know numerous people that have gone to Android based phones. I also know that the app ecosystem on android is not vibrant right now. There are a lot of factors involved, but before android can build a sustainable competitive advantage, they have to build a functional ecosystem. I have questions about how android can do that with the fractured market places. Android came out in 2007, four years is a long time to not have any killer apps. Given their wide distribution, I am frankly surprised that android is not much more prevalent. The reality though is that ecosystems are incredibly hard to build. Phones are one thing, I have yet to see a single android based music player or iPad competitor. How do you attack a fortified, focused competitor with more cash, better design aesthetic, and an innovation pipeline that is the envy of the world? I honestly have no idea, but I'm fascinated watching it all unfold.
