Apple doesn't have a monopoly on anything. Even their iTunes store isn't a monopoly as many would like to believe.

Well, many people who claim to be savvy have an entirely distorted, one-dimensional view of the world, as well as a very superficial understanding of that which they claim to be savvy about. It's a fact. So, an appeal to the tech savvy to support an assertion, is not strong support for that assertion. If you don't want their credibility questioned, don't attempt to use it to support your arguments, and don't pretend to tell me how to criticize those arguments.

Honestly have you seen the Android Marketplace? It looks so amateurish compared to the AppStore it's unbelievable.

Thats most likely because you dont know what android phones look like.
Either that or you dont go out much.
The HTC desire,sony xperia and samsung galaxy are pretty all android phones.
And they're pretty popular in the UK

I just got an Android phone :/

I really wanted to get an iphone 4 (I know, me of all people) but AT&T's 2GB datacap really turned me off. I've had my android for just under a week now and I've already gotten past 1GB of usage. I mean, imagine how much it would cost me for the iphone 4 which is just as data intensive as Android.

AT&T is what is holding the iPhone back. NONE OF YOU CAN ARGUE WITH THAT.

I do like this Galaxy S though. It takes good pictures and excellent video, it's quick, and it does everything I want. Well, maybe not everything. That video editing on the iphone is nice.

As soon as iphone is back with a company in the US with unlimited data, I think I'm getting one.

I see a lot of Droid phones out here myself (mostly because Verizon is way better here than AT&T). Nowhere near as many as I see iPhones, but that's a good point. People probably see more Android phones than they think because Android can appear in all manner of relatively normal-looking smartphones. It might be in a fairly sleek-looking EVO, or that crappy POS plastic keyboard phone.

The Android market is trash, though. There are some gems, but the sheer volume of trash applications is mind-boggling. I thought the App Store was bad...

At this point I'd agree with you about AT&T. People overlook a lot of good that the agreement Apple had with them through the starting days did for the iPhone, though. Apple needed a lot of leverage to make this happen and AT&T made that possible (even if they kept urinating along the trail as Apple pulled them along, kicking and screaming).

Today, though, you can probably expect Verizon and AT&T to eventually sync with data. Verizon isn't going to keep offering it for free if their network feels the hurt. Smaller companies like Sprint and T-Mobile may but that's because they don't have to deal with the same network stress. In any case, it is sad, because the right solution would be to heavily invest in the idea of unlimited data—a long term strategy. I acknowledge the possibility that they may be doing just this, and simply have to deal with short-term limitations, but I don't know. I tend to come in on the negative side when guessing the motives of wireless mobile companies.

Exactly, knowing how dedicated Apple is to a consistent user experience and knowing how different both carrier's networks are, Apple would more than likely end up with a iPhone for Verizon that didn't perform in the exact same manner as the ATT version and that, in Apple's eye, is a no-no.

i.e. ATT you can access data and voice at the same time, Verizon you can't.

IPHONE Multi-carrier availability is coming sooner than we think and this should boost IPHONE IOS rankings and put it on a more even playing field with Android.

Many people are more loyal to their carriers than we think, others do not want to go through the hassle of changing carriers just for a particular phone. Lastly some companies offer a big discount but only at one carrier which keeps the persaon at that carrier.

Dude, it's OK to accept that iPhone has set the standard by which all other phones have been measured. But now it's also OK to accept the fact that it's now been surpassed by Android.

Funny, as an android dev my opinion is the opposite. My iPhone4 is much better than my HTC Incredible IMO.

"Monopoly"? You must mean "integrated hardware/software platform" I don't know that Apple's strategy of "integrated hardware/software platform" is based on "greed and super sized egos" any more than it makes sense to say that for Palm, Nokia, RIM, for even successful integrated platforms like Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox or Sony Playstation.

I imagine that plays into it to. And also, the 'open' aspect of Android people seem to dislike talking about: the carriers are free to screw up the Android experience in any way they wish. It is quite carrier-frieldly. I do think it is shortsighted for carriers to overlook the potential of their own high-quality platform, though. People laugh at RIM, but their position in this market isn't exactly laughable. Nokia is the one that falls into that position.

Not sure why but these news makes me happy. I really loved the first iPhone because no one had it, and I felt like I had a phone from the future. Now everyone and their grand-ma have an iPhone.

Android can be number one if you ask me. Being number one is not in Apple's DNA.

Google is a cool company, but the only reason they have released Android is to make money on it. If they are not charging smart phone manufacturers for Android, they will have to use some other method to make money on it. The only method that Google uses to make money is to sell advertisement.

If Google chooses not to sell advertisement via Android-powered smart phones, they will either have to start charging smart phone manufacturers or the Android project will be dropped just like Google has dropped hundreds of other projects that they started. I once interviewed for Google, and I was told by their folks that most of their projects are in beta for years, and they never get out of beta. Android got out of beta, but without a profit-generating model, it will fizzle out. Enough said.

Yeah........Verizon is a whole lot better.

Verizon has already stated they will be moving to limited data plans .

You get a Verizon App Store with all of Verizon's crappy services.

Verizon's crappy Skype deal that doesn't work over WiFi and uses your mobile minutes for local calls.

In addition to paying extra for visual voicemail. Its difficult to see how Apple and Verizon can work together.

First, and ignoring your irrelevant comments regarding walled gardens, etc., there is a considerable difference in, to use your example, they way Apple developed, extended and brought to market the idea of the GUI as a way of interacting with personal computers and the way Google simply takes something, knocks out a cheap copy of it and dumps it on the market in order to overrun the market and turn it into an advertising and data collection opportunity. If you can't see the distinction, then you need read no further.

Secondly, there is a difference between engaging in competition through best efforts and competing by undermining a competitor. In the former case, Apple, actually invests creative energy in creating and improving products and services to compete. In the latter, Google, product dumping (and there's really no other description for how Google operates) is employed to take over markets where one does not have a truly compelling offering.

Google's entire strategy for success is to destroy. Apple's is to create. This is obvious to anyone who looks critically at how the two companies operate.

Didn't Apple implement overlapping window, having thought that Xerox had them? And it turned out that Xerox did no such thing, and it was an Apple innovation.

What exactly is the limit of "physical bandwidth" involved here, and what determines it? And, tossing aside the assumption implicit in your assertion that everyone who had "unlimited data" would use the maximum possible bandwidth at all times, how do you defend the claim that the carriers cannot "physically" provide enough for everyone to have as much as they need?

Frankly, if you are correct, then people are wasting tons of money investing in mobile computing, because it will be destined to be a complete failure in the end. This argument is merely a rationalization by the carriers in defense of maximizing charges to subscribers while investing the minimum possible to upgrade their networks.

Google has some very clever people. Their solution to the web-search problem was pure genius.
The problem with Google was how they chose to monetize that genius.

When they decided on using advertising and only advertising as their business model I think they took a big step towards the dark side.

Apple makes stuff, and earns profits when customers buy it. I think that is honest and transparent.
Google gives away stuff to create a honey trap, and then sells the collected users on to advertisers.

Both are valid business models. But I think we should remember that Google's first loyalty will always be to their paying customers; the advertisers.

I'd be much less suspicious of them as a company if they just charged for stuff.

Yes this has been a big part of AT&T's problems, there are too many people trying to use the same limited wireless spectrum at the same time. But over all it sounds like you need to read up more on how wireless spectrum work. Just because you cannot see them doesn't mean they are infinite.

This is quite extreme. The only two options are to provide everyone with unlimited data or the whole thing fails?

My point is that the claim that we are up against some sort of bandwidth wall, as opposed to a carrier created (or uncreated) infrastructure wall, is entirely misleading and, if true at all, is only so in very limited locales.

To your second point, no. First, people don't need "unlimited" data as in "infinite" data. They need some finite amount that is, in most cases, just enough more than what carriers will allow them without hitting them with additional charges. Secondly, if we are now up against a "physical bandwidth" wall, then, no growth is possible in mobile. Clearly that's not the case, and the "bandwidth wall" is so far away that it cannot in most cases even be seen. What we are up against is a carrier infrastructure wall.

Google is making nearly $7 billion per quarter this year. How much of that comes from services on Android only Google really knows. With millions of Android phones being sold, I'm sure they expect it to be a growing part of their business.
