The Verizon iPhone Halted Android’s Surge. The iPhone 5 Could Reverse It.

On this forum I have a feeling that I'm in the minority when I say that Android is superior to the iPhone. The one area that Android needs to improve on is the hardware design. However, unfortunately this is the one area where Google has not stepped foot in yet. I would love to see an android phone on a major network (read: Verizon) that is completely designed and engineered by Google and not Samsung or Motorola. I think this will give Android the boost it needs in order to counteract the rush the iPhone 5 on Verizon will give Apple.

I have always been shocked that Google has outsourced all of its hardware. It has the capital and resources so why not do it all. On a side note, I think the biggest opportunity Google has is to partner with Verizon and other TV providers to bake Google TV into the cable boxes...a cable box designed and built by Google. Now that would be big.
