It came to a point where people would just buy a phone and find that the prices fell by as much as 25% in the next quarter. It was not an attractive situation. Sony Ericsson would have been a good contender but it produced a lackluster line of phones back then. iPhones came at around this time, offering a sleek new smartphone that had all the new technologies. Of course it would shoot right up. But, on the other hand, I also think that you are overestimating the interest in Android. You have to factor in that Android devices were basically unseen in 2008, how could people be excited when there is only one phone (Google's) that came out in August or November of that year??? The fact that manufacturers are coming out with a whole lot of Android phones in 2009 and 2010 would generate a major part of that interest. What's more because Android is FREE, it gives consumers a choice of really great phones at less than the price of an iPhone. These two factors would surely increase the interest in Android devices. But like you, I am wondering if that would be enough to topple iPhone's leading position, esp. with the 4.0 out. We'll see, won't we?
