Let's keep in mind, however, that there is not really one monolithic "market". Just as McDonalds co-exists with Jean Georges, the legions of Android clones running Flash, etc. will peacefully coexist with iPhones, except without the responsive UX, battery life, or even a fundamental sense of taste. (edit: would the downvoters like to justify themselves? have they seen a Android device with a responsive UI? I haven't...)

"without the responsive UX, battery life, or even a fundamental sense of taste"

Pretty strong words.

I won't be surprised if this guy has not tried the Droid, Droid Incredible, or Nexus One.

He's likely repeating what he reads on Twitter and tech blogs.

I have the Nexus One and for me, it's more responsive than the IPhone 3GS. Oh and I have actually used an IPhone!

Android 2.1's UI is also drastically better than 1.6.

I'm not saying Android is better than the IPhone. It's a matter of personal taste.

Yeah, my guess is you're being downvoted for implying that anybody who doesn't agree with you is showing a fundamental inability to perceive taste. That implicit value judgment really weakens your argument.

the nexus one is totally responsive. have you seen it?

i didn't downvote you, but i would guess it's for "fundamental sense of taste". that's just ranting.

plus i am not aware of any evidence that the iphone has a better battery life than a comparable android device (like the nexus one). do you? or are you just reciting the talking points?
