I was basically impressed by the underlying hardware which is far superior to the iPAD. Even though I really should have read the PC Mag review of the product better. Especially when he said they were only running an animated demo.

Still, I have no doubt that OS and software is not that far behind. Say what you will about Droid sales, but if I look at my 10 closest contacts on my phone, 7 of them use Droid or Android phones (two were previous iPhone users), 2 Blackberries and the 1 that has an iPhone is getting a Samsung Galaxy S phone when his contract expires.

When he first got his iPhone we nickname it his girlphone because he played with it so much. It was far superior to any phone on the market; now the line is getting blurred. This will happen with tablets and it will force better products from both sides. Can’t wait.

That's not a good move unless his contract is expiring soon. The next generation of cell phones will hit over the next six months, with many of the high-end ones being dual-core. The Galaxy S already has a known successor, but it's just a speed-bumped Hummingbird processor with double the RAM. The iPhone 5 is expected to be dual-core with a very powerful GPU. Motorola has some Tegra 2 based phones in the works, really fast stuff.
