Report: One-fifth of smart phone buyers want Android

Android is a good system and its good that S/E is embracing an existing OS and providing a platform for it. The competition between Apple and Google is a very promising thing for consumers of smartphones, I look forward to seeing what comes out of it.More information from http://www.sourcinggate.com/smart-cell-phone-c-174.html

The Droid is like a new girlfriend, fun for about a month, maybe six weeks, and then everyone is over it.

I couldn't care less about Google's phone.

My iPhone is what I want in a phone with the exception of AT&T (who I HATE). When the iPhone becomes available on another network, I'm more likely to simply jump networks... I don't see me switching to Google's little hype machine. Besides, the interface (for the Nexus One) is atrocious.

I am not a corporate person but have been using smartphones for as long as they've existed. Tried all sorts of phones and couldn't settle on any until the iPhone launched -- it's so much more intuitive and syncs seamlessly with the Mac.

I was thinking of getting rid of my jailbroken 3GS and getting the Apple Tablet (assuming it will sport all the smart bits of the smartphone) and a cheap Nokia, but I've changed my mind... I'll maybe get the tablet and the 4th gen iPhone on contract next July.

I think the time frame for this question is very relevant. Most people are aware that Apple is likely to release a new iPhone this summer. Had the question been likely to purchase in the next year, the results may have been quite different.

Who cares? 90% of the world's sheep use windows. There's no mobile phone pissing contest so who cares who wants what isn't made by Apple?

Hey Mr. Jobs, the barbarians are at the gate. What's your plan?

Time for Apple to step it up a notch. New hardware, upgraded OS, and MORE CARRIERS, STAT!

I choose to hope that Apple has everything carefully planned and under control, but if they drop the ball (which is clearly in their possession right now) for domination of the mobile computing space I may never forgive them.

Please don't make the iPhone the Mac 2.0 (regarding Apple's missteps that allows Microsoft to dominate desktop computing).

i find it interesting that people still want an iPhone during the onslaught of Android Hype that we're getting battered with for the past few months.

I'm waiting for Exchange and MobileMe support with an Android phone, then I'm jumping to it. AT&T is killing me.
