Had the iPhone been released to other carriers before the recent wave of Android smartphones, I think Apple would have cemented itself as the number 1 smartphone provider for the foreseeable future. However, as other posts have mentioned, Android is picking users up at a ferocious clip, spreading like a virus through all the major carriers besides AT&T. While the iPhone seemed so much better than the other smartphone competition a few years ago, its somewhat run-of-the-mill now (at least in my opinion). Google is hear to stay and will not shy away from a Battle Royale with Steve Jobs.
