    TeckDud .... again with the misleading info. Are you doing it on purpose or are you just incompetent? A quick check of Apple website today reveals three models, one, 3G, $99 8GB .... two, 3GS, $199, 16GB, and three ....$299, 32GB.



    Come TeckDud, you can and should do better.

    Nokia just announced they are down to a 35% market-share already.

    By 2012 Nokia will be lucky to have 10%

    The problem with all these ideas is that you need to assume that all the other players, WindowsMobil, Palm, Blackberry, Symbian, etc. will just be pushed aside by Android and it will become Android vs. Apple. Just like it became Apple vs. Microsoft. I'm not sure if Google can do for smart phones what Microsoft did with computers and become the go to platform for hardware vendors. I really hope they don't. The single software&hardware maker isn't a bad concept. Hardware is only part of the issue and having the full experience crafted by one company isn't a bad thing as long as there are other options. Why would anybody want Android/Google to control the market? That seems as stupid as thinking it is a good idea to have one company provide almost all the computer system software. Is Googlesoft a good idea? I think not.
