I suppose it depends whether a reliable open platform (i.e. Android) gets established and achieves a critical mass of developers behind it.

Could happen :)



My problem with Android is my general problem with Google. It seems like they are incapable of doing the kind of UI polishing required to have a great consumer product. Given how they have treated some of their UI people, I don't see this changing. You need someone with the authority of a Steve Jobs or Jonathan Ive to do real design. You can't just have pretty icons.


110% agree. It's the same gripe I have with Linux too.
