The beauty of android is that any phone developer can adopt the platform, from China to River Road to Rio <br><br>Granted iOS will always have the edge as Apple control both the hardware and software.<br><br>However, at least for higher end phones, chances are that android based phones will continue to gain market share rapidly and possibly emerge as market leader.<br>

<br>Meanwhile, what should constitute 5 useful considerations for <br>1) Smart phones<br>2) &#39;Dumb&#39; phones (For lack of a better word)<br><br>-&gt; Affordability<br>-&gt; Usability<br><br><br><br><br><br><br clear="all">

i think the data that eric uses to draw his conclusion is in numbers of guys that have accessed the net, look at the age bracket, look at the demographic. <div>In fact i am convinced that if we all did apps for these dual sim chinese phones we would still hit a larger audience than IOS and android. </div>


<div>But then again, android got there first with the deals they are cutting at that end of the market. Me thinks its just a matter of time before google and huaweii introduce an android mulika mwizi, then $#*&amp; hits the fan for the finns. <div>
