| Android's hidden recipe for success still hasn't entirely been realized yet, but it will be soon.
iPhone OS is inherently locked to the (relatively expensive) exclusive apple hardware, and only that hardware. This will never change. What Android has going for it is that it will be the everyman's smartphone OS on a relatively modest budget.
Samsung, Motorola, just about every previous-era tier 1 cellular manufacturer, is working on either one or an entire line of Android based phones. The number of devices running this thing is going to balloon in a little bit, and google has the clout to make sure critical apps and functionality are always developed for Android first.
Value, not niche/fashion, will win at the end of the day.

since Android isn't limited to just the G1, there is upcoming hardware that will definitely look prettier and be more attractive to the fashion-conscious. The Magic is a step in that direction. |
