I mean something as simple as uploads from the onboard memory are not possible on the IOS but my Droid with no mods did it right out the box, and although it may seem small its a pretty big deal in the larger picture. I think as people start seeing these limitations and waking up a bit they will abandon the platform altogether. It will be a progressive process but will only take a few years at most.

Customization, prettiness, fun to use, etc the droid wins hands down. Using it for a business phone, though, the iphone takes this one. Interface is smoother where I need it to be, and much less bloat. Battery life is better, better screen, better camera etc. If I'm using a phone for my personal life, it's always going to be droid. If I'm using it for business, it's only (at least for now) going to be crapple. I've heard that IOS 5 takes a pretty thick page out of the book of android. I'm excited to see what that holds.
What I'm getting at, is that Apple isn't going anywhere. Anytime soon, or not too soon.
I may have ignited an apple droid war, but whatever. I don't feel like going back and deleting my post.

I said the same thing 3 years ago and had Blackberry users yell as loud as they could on the internet. RIM = dead. Playbook = dead.
This is interesting too:

Here’s one that’ll set Android fanatics’ hair on fire: as the iPhone 5 arrives, the latest data shows that only sixteen percent of mobile traffic comes from Android devices even as Apple’s combined iPhone-iPad lineup accounts for slightly more than half of all mobile traffic. So much for the claims that Android devices have forty-eight percent of the mobile market. The study conducted by Net Applications is the latest statistical broadside fired into claims on the part of Google that Android device “activations” are an adequate substitute for actual device sales numbers, and casts further skepticism as to whether the meteoric rise of the Android platform is in fact real.

Remember this.....
It wasn't to make Windows users happy to have itunes, it was to get paid via itunes music store. I think they're thinking the same thing with the apps. Apple will not be making high powered desktops after a while. It's gonna be about music, apps, ipods, ipads and smaller gadgets.
They recently fucked up Final Cut, and all of my Editor friends are moving back to Avid.

No, there's a huge gap between "activations" and "market share". Activation != market share.
Do you need to activate a WiFi iPad or iTouch? No. Mobile metrics are skewed based on "activation" numbers. It's not even close, iOS is destroying in tablet sales. 2nd is WebOS. Distant 3rd is Android.
So, if you look at the raw web traffic, there's huge numbers on iOS enabled devices vs. Android devices. Just as an example, I've seen Harley Davidson's mobile metrics and it's all iOS. There's such a heavy iOS userbase ... but then you hear, "48% Android", it just doesn't add up.
Again, not a "fan boy". I don't own an Apple Computer. These are real situations from someone working in the digital space for 8 years now.
