I must admit VOIP on (stock) android would be a killer app for me. I could sell that 10,000 times over to our clients. My take on Apple vs Android goes a bit like this:
Commodore 64 - Sinclair spectrum Commodore Amiga - Atari ST PC - Mac Android - iPhone I made a wise choice :-) Some are saying Google won't make it in the mobile space. TBH I don't think they will have to with the new tech coming out with Android. The G? is just a small feather in a big headdress :-) Android will be everywhere and boy am I looking forward to the day :-) Pd.
