If anything, we should see more Android devices--Android technology without the phone, like the iPod touch. Clearly there's a market there, and you get around the whole pesky "tied to the carrier you hate" issue.
THANK YOU.
Know why I chose iPhone for a dev platform? Not because I have an iPhone (I don't), but because I have an iPod touch, and so do a lot of other people. I write an app, and not only can iPhone owners use it, so can all the people who don't have/want an iPhone, but happen to have an iPod touch (most of my friends fall into this category).
I don't want to sign a three-year cell phone contract, and I certainly don't want to pay $700 for a phone without a contract. So I bought an iPod touch (less than $250 at the time), and a cheap phone that works. And guess what? It's great. If we start seeing more android-powered devices that aren't phones, but are just media players/web browsers/game and app platforms, we'll start seeing more people start to develop quality apps.
