fanboys have NOTHING to do with this. it has to do with making a quality product that is cohesive and marketable and has mass market appeal. apple knows how to do that. does google? that remains to be seen.
the point is that they have 2 mobile device operating systems that have almost zero in common. that's a problem for google, not a good thing. you can have some people designing tablets that work on chrome and others that work on android and each would have their own set of apps. what a mess...
being open source is great and all, but it doesn't automatically lead to market dominance. look at linux for example... can't get much more open and free than that, yet pretty much every regular joe consumer wouldn't touch linux with a 10 foot pole. its about implementation and execution. apple has it down to a science. google has a chance, but they're so new to the hardware and OS arena that its hard to say.
