I honestly am not going to be a believer in Android until I see a device that kicks ass. HTC devices need not apply. I'm not going to hitch my wagon 100% to Apple and think that someone else could come in and build a great device. Just not the HTC Dream. Agreed!

The latter approach won the PC game. The Wintel/Dell approach was extremely efficient at producing inexpensive ugly boxes that sat under our desk. Handheld computers are completely different. We carry them with us. Most human beings want attractive items on their body. This makes beauty a high priority. Apple can more easily deliver beauty. Wintel/Dell and now Google/ARM/Telco approach may not be able to deliver in this new arena. It'll be interesting to see how this game plays out...
