I haven't had time to read all the responses (so this is probably 'redundant') but it seems to me that Apple has one huge drawback: they can only ship to ONE carrier in the U.S. (ATT) for quite a while. Android is going to be able to hit all the carriers and a variety of manufacturers, which is going to give them much more potential market penetration. I'm a Verizon Wireless user, and I know quite a few other VZ customers who would have purchased an iPhone if they could have stayed with VZ. The Voyager, an inferior competitor to the iPhone IMO, sells so well that VZ has trouble keeping them in stock.

That being said, Apple and Google are the two best large companies in tech these days, and I'm looking forward to the battle - should be lots of great stuff for all of us.
