RE: But it won’t be in a couple of years, once the Android market ramps up.
And besides quality, that is why Apple continues to win. When the non-Apples produce their Zunes, android phones (which suck compared to the iPhone...I’ve had both) and stink pads Apple will already be creating another market with something else.
You can’t win when you are on continually on the defense.
The advantage Apple has in its more closed architecture is more control over what goes on the Ipad, so things do run more smoothly.
However, with the more open architacture of Android, you can have more options in the end as to what you can put on it.
It’s all in your preference.
