Google going open source with Android and an SDK that anyone can develop with, on their existing computer, will probably create an Apps explosion that will ultimately outpace iPhones lead.

But again, only geeks care about that. Who really wants or uses the millions of Windows or Linux tools for PCs? I would guess that 90% of computer users rarely instal any softare on their PC other than what it came with. Similarly, iPhone users may buy sme essential apps, or download the ocasional game. But only a minority really thinks there is anything missing from the thousands of available apps.

Geeks have been complaining about iPods lacking features for years. Look how much the market cares.

Simplicity of use and security are far bigger factors in the iPhone success. Even the name Android sounds geeky. Who wants that?
