Google Phone: "Dream Phone" Might Be a Little Strong [View article]
I disagree. The Android open development platform is key.
The iPhone is a nice gadget... although I don't salivate over it like some. But Android will offer competitive synergies that the locked down iPhone can not.
Think of this analogy (thanks Jared Diamond):
-the iPhone is all powerful China in the year 1408 - centrally controlled, impressive, and very dominant in it's sphere.
-the Android platform is Europe in 1408 - decentalized, competing against one another, with only a loose cultural affinity.
Now step ahead 100 - 200 - 300 ... years and see what becomes of these arrangements.... and more importantly - why.
Android is a force to be reckoned with ... and the G1 is just the first seedling to emerge from the fertile ground.
