I agree with what you said. Certainly, comparisons with Apple are exactly as you said. Most of the negative remarks are just out of jealousy, in my opinion. They make great products, and the market agrees and buys them. When the market doesnt agree, they will change or go away. Competition and capitalism are beautiful things!!
I think the key about any new eDGe device is going to be what you want. As I said, we now have working devices, and if thats enough then no one will have to by any new hardware. My question, and I truly dont know the answer, is what kind of hardware will be needed for Honeycomb (Android 3.0), so that if Entourage offers it, will we be able to run it well on the existing hardware? Or, like Windows did to the 8088, will we need "MORE POWER"??????? Some people (certainly including me) always want the latest and greatest software release. To keep up with this, may need new hardware. Everyone is anxiously awaiting Android 2.2, but in fact, other than speed, and the ability to run apps that wont run on 1.6 (although we STILL dont have access to the Android Market because of Google), I think that getting 2.2 will not add a whole lot of functionality.... I just want it because its the newest. Hopefully we will get 2.2 soon, but, by that time, 3.0 will be out on the shelves in the motorola and other devices and then everyone will want that. I'm just not sure what that will entail.
