Good post.
I don't work in the mobile device market, why do you sound bullish on the Androids? Just from my limited experience, the Droids seem to be far more unstable than the iPhone. Do you think they'll eventually get this fixed? It was explained to me that with such an open OS, and all the apps written, there's no way to test them all and lock-ups/crashes almost can't be avoided.
I use Blackberry for work and don't load any apps, I never have a problem. My wife uses very basic apps (facebook mostly) and her droid is constantly having issues (we've replaced it once and reset it several times). My son was using the droid with the same problems as my wife, he upgraded to iPhone and hasn't complained of any issues.
