The iPhone is just way to expensive for what it is.
Off course Apple’s app store and iTunes cater a much larger part of the market then any other device, I’ll admit that.

OpenMoko is a good example of this, its cheap and completely open source.
But again, it will probably never make it out of its niche.

Andriod however has a strong corporate backing, and who knows we may see a revolution in the smartphone market the same way netbooks have caused one in the pc market.

who cares about what will be the winner between Android and the iPhone. The only thing that us geeks who read akihabaranews are interresting in are what makes Android much greater than the iPhone.

The more interresting fact about Android is it’s open source system and the hability to freely develop our programs on it.
We just wanna hack our phone and Android is the best for that kind of stuff.

I also think that you should have talked about the Palm Pre as an alternative.
