Here's my bet with Radu of the Eloquentix fame, on Google Android vs "iPhone 3,4,5 G, XPDU kaboom big badaboom":
In 2 years not only that iPhone will become obsolete, it will own the same market share that MAC has. And not only that, but it's "quality" will become a true legend. As Apple switched from the big mighty rocket science processor to Intel ones, I am waiting for the day they will run their iPhones on Google Android :-D, forced by this shit some people call "market".
And so, The iPhone will be nothing more than an excellent design powered by decent quality, while Android enabled phones will benefit from the unstoppable inovation comming from Google AND the herd that belives in these two words: "open *whatever*". I am only waiting for the terminal (HTC Hero may be the one, I only wish it was cheaper) that will be able to create the momentum needed for the vendors to say: This Android thing really has potential. We loose if we don't exploit that market. And that is the "bye bye iPhone moment". (Hear me Sony? Wake up you Playstation XYZ pimps. You want your playstation on mobile? The answer is Google Android). I've bet before but this is the first public bet I make. Let's see how it turns out.
Here Radu, just post a comment here and we have a bet. The stakes is the latest iPhone 3GPdBHboom badaboom (I buy you) available in 2 years from now on (6 July 2011) vs the latest equivalent price Android enabled phone (you buy me) and I get to choose which one as there will be plenty :-D. Who looses the bet, buys.

"it will own the same market share that MAC has"
that would be amazing!! apple to have 15% of the market.
Well, iPhone already had 10% from the smart phone market in the first quarter of 2009. That market is reconfiguring, Nokia being the biggest looser. If iPhone takes only 15% of the market, then they suck :-D.
I certainly hope they don't go above that, Microsoft has already proven what monopoly means, we never learn.
People were making the same types of bets 10 years ago regarding Windows vs. Linux. Free this, free that, power to the coders BS. In the future end user experience will be tied to 'available content' and 65,000 apps vs 4000 apps is a big difference.
Yeah. Except that Google doesn't go 'power to the developers'. Actually I think it's hard to put Google and 'open source' crapolla in the same bag. Related to the apps, I agree it's a big difference but: 1.) I must admit that until HTC Hero there really wasn't a good looking android phone that could challenge iPhone. 2.) quantity doesn't always mean 'good' not to mention quality but nevertheless if Android becomes a market and the Java snow ball starts to roll in the Android direction you will see some pretty big pictures there too.
