sorry for being aggressive, but i really hate it when iPhone fanatics go on and on about how its the “top” device. But to be honest, it really does lack so many fundamental features that every digital device should have.

It comes down the the filesystem of iPhone. Each app creates its own private environment. So apps do not really have direct access to the iPhone filesystem. They each make their own filesystems for whatever purpose they need.

To have different apps using similar files, the two apps need to communicate together. Cannot just access the same file on the iphone, because the filesystem between apps is private.
Some people i have talked to love this concept, but its only good for small scale mobile apps.
Since smartphones are kind of replacing laptops (to some extent) i think a standard desktop-style filesystem is so much better. more power, more freedom for developing.

Also I just hate Apple. They don’t encourage innovation, they only encourage money.
I think the only thing apple did that wasn’t ripped off from some other company is putting a capacitive touch screen on a smartphone. (they probably weren’t the first to do that either, but i cannot find the first product.)

What about the new Froyo update for android letting users put apps on an sd card letting you have multiple sd cards full of apps? Would, by your logic that make new android phones android killers?

You’re focusing on such a minor aspect of a phone. Do you seriously think that that average user cares about whether they have 128MB, 256MB, or 16GB of storage for apps? A small fraction of power users will care, but this is a very minor policy (not technical) detail that can be easily changed in a software update. Why not focus on more important and fundamental technical issues with phones, such as multitasking?

The form factor lead that iPhone has will be hard to catch up to…. but Google has the ability to subsidize the efforts of it’s OEM partners by feeding ad revenues back in, in a way that Apple will have a hard time keeping up with. Google does not make devices, they sell advertising and are the largest and most-successful ad sales machine in the world. Free turn by turn nav from Google has ROCKED the LBS world and is only the beginning. I do no think it’s a stretch to imagine Google actually GIVING the phones away for free, with subsidized carrier plans, to enable the armies of millions to go about their daily lives while their phones get smarter and smarter and deliver services and offers and the locations of what they want when they want it, via behavioral advertising algorithm opt-in. Free email was unheard of not too long ago. As was a Google phone. As were Google-owned maps. For those who scream big brother privacy fears, ask how many of them use a gmail account and love it and how many love the Google maps on their iPhone. Do they notice the ads on either or mind? Unlikely.
