    The iPhone 4g better have some seriously dope features otherwise they will be losing ground quickly. It takes Apple 2-3 years to come out with new iPhones and Android is more nimble for developers. Puts Apple at a disadvantage IMO.

    • Plus there is only one model of iPhones and presumable 10 models with Android OS.DrBombay
    • imo, Android is a stable and more versatile OS all around. more popular at this point, no, but...JazX

    • It makes it a platform though, rather than one product.DrBombay

    • ipod touch, iphone, ipad are different devices all with tens of millions of units already out there. sounds like a platform.spifflink
    • Android also lends itself to a possible future of being able to upgrade without shelling out on more expensive contracts e.t.c. You may simply be able to upgrade by downloading newer software.orrinward
    • You can upgrade by simply downloading the new OS in the same way someone upgrades the OS on their puter.orrinward
    • That is if the idea isn't throttled by phone manufacturers. No harm done to Google by offering this.orrinward
    • Where Apple loses it's lifeblood if this becomes available.orrinward
    • They will both be around. Keep in mind though Apple makes $ on every iPhone soldukit
    • Google develops Android for free. It's an advertising opportunity for them.ukit
    • It's only 'free' to the consumer. Every Android Phone sold is less money to competitors.orrinward
    • leading to increased profit for Google. They potentially suffocate the opposition with minimum financial outlay.orrinward
