Android 2.0 — Competition Against the iPhone and the Rest

GMGruman writes "Every few months, it seems, there is a new 'iPhone killer.' Android 2.0, in the guise of the Motorola Droid, is the latest such 'killer.' But what will it really take to beat or match the iPhone (single page), and does Android or any other mobile OS have the right stuff? There's a lot more to the answer than is usually discussed. This article takes a look at the strengths that may allow Droid and Android 2.0 to provide strong competition to devices like the iPhone and the Blackberry, as well as the obstacles it continues to face that could inhibit adoption."

It means a psychopathic serial killer who has a fetish for sucking the ions directly from the heart of a still-functioning iPhone battery, and then has a TV cop drama made about him.

Shhh! It gives journalists something to write about, and the headline is really catchy. Just shut up and consume.
