Your comparing Apples to Oranges. Aside from Blackerry/RIM was there a smartphone before the iPhone? Like I said Apple sacrificed a huge slice of it's potential customer base by entering contracts with Cingular/AT&T as the exclusive US carrier for 4 years! I'd venture the Android market would only be half it's size had that not occurred.
