Why Android Will Ultimately Fail
Android has some impressive features. It can run multiple apps at once, supports the 1GHz Nexus One, and overlays demographic data onto a map.
And that is precisely why they'll fail.
If you are a geek, you may want more out of the iPhone or the iPad. You want the ability to customize the UI, run multiple apps at once, and download apps that may or may not be damaging to the core services of your phone. All these things must be done with some knowledge of how technology works; how processors deal with tasks, for example. If you are running multiple apps, you'll need to figure out which app is a CPU hog, and quit it. This is easy if you're a geek. But, if you're an average user, this may be incredibly hard to comprehend.
The 1984 Mac introduced the GUI. The GUI revolutionized computers… It let users run a computer without extensive knowledge of how it actually works… no need to know any command line whatsoever. The iPhone is doing that with cell phones. It's simplifying the cell phone. Yet, making it more powerful. So you don't have to deal with a task manager on a mobile device.
I wanted to keep this brief, but you can view the continuation here.

this has to be one the of most outrages blogs on here. Because if you knew a thing or two. You would know that android is slowly catching up to iphone OS. and will probably pass up iphone OS sometime next year. Windows mobile is probably going to fail. blackberrys and other smartphones are most likely going to switch to android. do some research.
plus you didnt really explain why it will fail. you just said that apple introduced GUI. i know you must really like apple, so do i! i love apple, but stop trying to put apple as the superior one. because in reality, its not
ron has a very good point there. also, what the hell is up with the 20 million tags that you put on the article, that have nothing to do with the article at hand??
You have to realize, most people on this site are not open to accepting anything that is better than an apple product. Apple could come out with the crappiest product ever, and these kids on here will still rave about how awesome it is and how much it will revolutionize everything.
What he is basically saying is since there is no apple logo on it, it sucks right?
james: you are right, im an apple fan boy but mostly just a fan of technology. And i know that apple is great! but i know there not the best!
