>2) The iTunes app store is a closed ecosystem. This is ultimately bad for the consumer. The Android marketplace is open - see Amazon's replacement/supplemental Android marketplace as proof. This is good for the consumer. Long term advantage: Android
That's good for developer. So there are more and more application for iphone.
>3) Android can be licensed by just about any manufacturer and thus, Apple is not competing against one manufacturer, but many (HTC, Samsung, Motorola, etc.) Long term advantage: Android.
I never see a good design at HTC, Samsung, Motorola ... like Iphone 4.
>I equate the iPhone ecosystem to a Socialist system where "big brother" attempts to control everything. This always ultimately fails. The Android ecosystem is open and driven by more capitalistic principals and will be the big, big winner.
If you are a developer and want to earn money your choice would be iphone.
