Yeah it's pretty obvious that the next iteration of iPhone, will have
to match the x2.5 pixels and x2 DPI og current shipping Android
devices.

Android does have that limitation, albeit not sure how much of a
practical problem that is given that most people probably have no more
than 20-30 applications installed. What large applications tend to do
anyway, is allocate bulk data on the SD (GPS map data etc.). I can
only speculate that Google chose to do it this way in order to avoid
people deleting installed files and/or to guarantee a certain speed of
the flash. This limitation is slated to be removed in the nearby
future btw.

Agreed, there's such a thing as too many choices - especially when
coming from the same source.
