? There would have been no 'natural progression' to Android had there been no iPhone first. Somebody had to realize the cell phone market was a joke. Jobs and Apple saw that and did something about it. There is no doubt that Android is following the iPhone lead after Google was shown how to do it. But, if Android surpasses iOS devices in sales --- should I give a giant red rat's ass? What's even more obvious is that Google and everyone else didn't see the 'natural progression’ to the iPad as all others were caught with their pants down. PANTS ON THE FLOOR! PANTS ON THE FLOOR! :-) From my iPad, BTW. I'm at Taco Bell for my 4 crispy Sunday tacos.

Come one ... iPhone is the normal step after Blackberry, windows mobile ... and others. And Android is next step after iPhone. The iPhone is one of the two or three milestones in the evolution of the cellphone beginning with Motorola and the first popular cellphone. The iPhone was the first truly effective mobile computer, just look at carrier data rates before and after the iPhone. Androids have not been a milestone marker in the evolution of the cellphone.
