iPhone 4S will outsell all these posers.
iPhone is ZERO DOLLARS NOW on contract. Ooops!
Roid is unfit for corporate use due to total lack of security. Oops!
So is RIM BB, only for total lack of functionality (all they ever had was security). You need functionality, even in business, for no other reason than keeping your employees happy. Oops!
iPhone is the last man standing.
Siri artificial intelligence will drive sales of the high end 4S. The low cost and reliability/image will drive the rest, along with iOS iPad strategy for which Android has NO ANSWER. iPad = 97% of the 'tablet' market.
Android has already lost the business market, and is WAY BEHIND in browser share and internet use. For instance, the photo web sites show that iPhone is well above the point and shoot cameras in use. Android is nowhere close. They have 8MP cameras that no photog would be caught dead using. No decent color, no decent image tools, no HDR built in, etc… Much of the problem for Roid is the userbase. A bunch of cheapskates who really aren't using the Roid much, just toe wetting. The serious users/ buyers are getting iPhone.
