I admittedly have an iPhone bias, but based on anecdotal evidence, I know way too many non-technical people who have Android phones (instead of iPhones) simply because: 1) The iPhone wasn't available on their carrier 2) They received their Android phone at a very low price (or free) due to a carrier promotion 3) They hate Apple, or just want to be different With the iPhone being available on Verizon and costing as low as $99 on contract, I don't know if Android will continue to have such amazing growth numbers after this year. Given how much money iPhone users spend on apps compared to Android, I don't see them switching to Android any time soon, especially when they're not available on Android.
