Let's keep in mind, however, that there is not really one monolithic "market". Just as McDonalds co-exists with Jean Georges, the legions of Android clones running Flash, etc. will peacefully coexist with iPhones, except without the responsive UX, battery life, or even a fundamental sense of taste. (edit: would the downvoters like to justify themselves? have they seen a Android device with a responsive UI? I haven't...)

the nexus one is totally responsive. have you seen it? i didn't downvote you, but i would guess it's for "fundamental sense of taste". that's just ranting. plus i am not aware of any evidence that the iphone has a better battery life than a comparable android device (like the nexus one). do you? or are you just reciting the talking points?

"without the responsive UX, battery life, or even a fundamental sense of taste" Pretty strong words. I won't be surprised if this guy has not tried the Droid, Droid Incredible, or Nexus One. He's likely repeating what he reads on Twitter and tech blogs. I have the Nexus One and for me, it's more responsive than the IPhone 3GS. Oh and I have actually used an IPhone! Android 2.1's UI is also drastically better than 1.6. I'm not saying Android is better than the IPhone. It's a matter of personal taste.

Does this really need to be explained? You went a little bit overboard on the rhetoric. The analogy between Android vs iPhone and McDonald's vs Jean Georges is over the top. It comes off as snobbery. 'Fundamental sense of taste'? really?

Yeah, my guess is you're being downvoted for implying that anybody who doesn't agree with you is showing a fundamental inability to perceive taste. That implicit value judgment really weakens your argument.
