well this is how apple became #2 by FAR in the desktop market and they're doing it again. This is like MAC vs. DOS all over again and again apple will eventually find themselves at the back of the pack in terms of sales

Doesn't matter what Apple and their followers believe: The Andriod OS is here to stay and it's growing by leaps and bounds. That's something that has Job's panties in a bind for sure.

One of my favorite parts of android is the terminal; it really is DOS vs Mac!
