The market for low cost, high volume, low profit margin, throw-away devices will continue to grow, and we'll all be drowning in an ocean of commodity smartphones and tablets.
Most of these require big rebates as purchasing incentives. There has never been an iPhone or iPad rebate because people are willing to pay a premium for a premium product (and for a product that is still be useful three or four years later).
Apple is about providing a premium product and a premium user experience. Apple's iOS ecosystem is incredibly robust with the App Store. They certainly have the most important thing right which is the content.
The Android market place for Apps is growing but it too is fragmented. Where do you go for your Apps? Which version do you get for which brand/model of device you own? Is it compatible with the outdated Android OS on the device you just bought last month? Is your month old Android device upgradable to the latest Android OS? Where do you get it? Is it truly the Open Source Android or a Proprietary version from your device vendor?
It's not all about how fast a voice app runs on an Android device vs Siri on the iPhone. It's about the whole user experience across the board as a whole which is where Apple certainly dominates.
But I think MS, to their credit, is the one that might be the game changer if they play their cards right. Metro is very different, not a copy cat of iOS or any other existing UI. I believe MS is the under dog contender while Android remains a cluster f%$k !! Just my 2-cents worth of course.
