I disagree, Everyone who owns a cell phone needs for there to be an iPhone killer. iPhone owners especially. Competition drives innovation. Do you think without the challengers to the iPhone the new iPhone 3GS model would have ever been released? If they already had the best crappiest camera, why improve it? If no one else was doing multi-tasking why should be make a more powerful phone to support it?
Its just like every market out there, you need the very heated competition for us, the consumers, to get the best possible product to choose from.
