With a lot of Android phones coming soon by different manufacturers, it is expected that Android can outpace iPhone by the end of 2010.

Motorola, Samsung, LG, SonyErrision, Acer, Asus, HTC, Lenovo and a lot of manufacturers in China, are going to release their products at the end of this year. The sales of iPhone is about 12,000,000 which is not a lot.

Hi Guys,

This article is not stating that the G1 is better than the iPhone.
It talks about the facts that are currently proven from Android Operating system.

In other words, let’s put it this way; Android has made more impressions than the iPhone when it was first released. The iPhone was released as a 2G Phone but it never had all the features, apps, and quickness of the G1. Little by little Apple started releasing all those apps that you can see now. Right now still the iPhone doesn’t have picture messaging, copy and paste, and other things.

What I’m saying is for the short time that Android Operating system has been out and all the improvements they have made it promises more for the future than the iPhone. Apple is very complicated and they are really big at pushing mainly their products and partners which is not good for all of us. Android will let anyone do an application without too much licensing crap and Flash is coming soon for the G1.

“I was telling a guy I know about why Android and open technologies are better, and his response was, “I don’t care. Everyone who is cool I know has an iPhone, so I’m getting one too.”
It’s hard to argue with people who only think in those terms.”

And on the other side I know several people going to android simply because they “don’t want to use an apple product”. They’ve never used android and couldn’t tell you why they’re going to use it over an iPhone other than “it isn’t apple”.

Android maybe better for some, certainly not all. Certainly not me. And believing that the only reason someone would use an iphone over android is because of ’status’ is being delusional.

I hope your are right in your prediction, but like Ef says, it’s going to be hard to beat all of the status and cachet marketing that the ipod/iphone has built up.

I would love to see Android overtake the iphone in 3 years, but I’m not convinced that it will happen.

I agree that its open source nature makes Android available to more devices and, thus, people – but just as no portable media player has vanquished the iPod, it will be difficult to remove the elite cachet of having an Apple device in order to effect a shift in consumer preference.
