Personally I'm thrilled that Android is growing and I hope that it provides such much needed competition to the iPhone in the market of smart phones designed for the average customer.However, the iPhone ran in and changed one part of this game forever. That part is applications. I know people like to blast the iPhone app store for all of its excess, but that doesn't take away from apps that allow me to access things like web-based vnc services, television streaming from my home desktop, games developed by major developers like Electronic Arts, etc.This isn't a fanboy thing. This is a "getting what you pay for" thing. Many people feel like they get more than what they pay for with the iPhone because of all of the potential features that can so easily be added to it. So yes, we need more developers to get on board with the Android and make it the competition that the iPhone needs to create a more consumer oriented market. if this blogger feels that Android could be streamlined more to make the development easier and therefore more appealing, that is their opinion and valid as such.
