Baaahhhhh
Apple has been a synonomous name for many years. Android is very new. Android's impact into mainstream acceptance will not happen overnight. However, they are indeed gaining respect very quickly as a premier OS. This is proof that the more Android increases their selection while maintaining an open source practice, adding what consumers seek, it will be far more received as the popular choice such as Windows over Mac.

Android has come on the market to sell its Operating system to phone makers and has done a good job at it. Why would they want to limit where they put there Operating system when they can put it on all the carriers?
Why does AT&T have a android phone now? AT&T is in it to make money and they will sell Android to make more money because they know that is where the $$$$ is for them now.
