Is the iPhone/iOS still an afterthought? Android users have had Google Navigation and Google Voice for a while now, and there are plenty of other app examples. iOS and Android may seem superficially very similar, but the distribution model

this reminds me of the internet's reaction to the name "iPad" - although I haven't heard anything along those lines since the first week it was announced.

I would guess that the iPhone/Android proportion on AT&T is heavily skewed toward the iPhone because AT&T's Android devices are all underpowered and locked down relative to their counterparts on every other US network.

I think a lot of people (and businesses) don't consider them to be toys anymore because, in recent iOS updates (2.0/3.0+) Apple has started to fully embrace some Blackberry/WinMo features -- remote wipe, exchange support, etc. Also, who rea
