Apples to Apples: Will History Repeat Itself as Android Gains on the iPhone?

Not sure about this. IMO - the wireless industry is currently tranforming itself to where laptops, netbooks, tablets and smartphones are all coming together, and the days of the proprietary data networks are limited. In 10 years we will all simply have data devices, supported by ultra highspeed wifi/wimax, and the need for separate (costly) networks for "cell" phones, or even the notion of having phone numbers will be history. Apple will probably have the high end of this market (with devices and platform), with MSFT, GOOG offering platforms, and a mix of hardware providers similar to today's PC market. Cable TV will be history by then too - we will all just have data accounts and everything will be on demand (as it should be now).
