competition is good...
but Android is not on Apple's level, period. The public views Android as the cheap or accessible alternative. When Apple releases something people usually get in long lines to get it. Android not so much because there's so much to choose from. I like the ideas Google brings to mobile but in the long run it's like GM cars versus Mercedes, BMW, Lexus and a little Honda thrown in. Apple never completely invents technology but they make them great without the nerd factor. At the moment Apple is looking to shake off the luxury image a bit to become simply high quality like a Toyota / Lexus model. Android will still be the utilitarian and high tech platform with competition coming from Microsoft. These are good times if everyone just innovates in their own unique way.
