That's so much away from reality. I have myself lived on a 40$ cell phone
spending less than 5$ monthly for my voice plans. The voice plans in my
country are cheap and cell phones are so common. Having a cool phone is like
a cult. For a poor farmer its like owning a car and they take pride in it.
If android can make a phone more than just a way to communicate, Thats a
great thing.

However, if android is only going to run on iphone-like phones, yes not many
people are going to use it. But I guess a reason to have an open and free
operating system is to make phones affordable.
