Your point is?

In less than three years, Jobs has sold 40 million iPhones and 40 million iPod Touches without multitasking, Flash or a camera for video conferencing.

Android and Xbox offer multitasking and Flash, buy them and quit complaining about features that 'pundits' think the product "needs."

Apple has kept its cutting edge products "closed" since 1984. Have you considered that possibly that is why they are where they are at ($38B in the bank), while other manufacturers from Osborne to Dell have ended up sucking air on the low margins that happen when they can't keep total vertical control over their products.

Android, in just its first year, is already showing signs of platform fragmentation and a competitive race to make the least expensive products. If you believe that model will win... buy some Motorola or HTC stock, they are pushing Android phones.

BTW: I do hope some company, maybe Google, can get its act together and make a competitive platform to challenge Apple's economy. Features and new paradigms from competition are the best way to compete with Apple. Continually copying and following another market defining company is not how Steve Jobs and Apple earned its position.
