Choosing between Android or Iphone or Windows phone or BlackBerry is not because of price even though Apple products are amazingly overpriced. But it is because of personal preference.

I am the biggest fan of Android not because it is cheap but because of it's architecture. That is the reason why lot's for future devices (not only phone or tablets) like Nikon will be powered by Android phone. Android is open source and there are lots of possibilities for lots of different companies. Even US military is experimenting on customized Android for it's troops.

Apple should not be happy with it's win over Android. Android has already dominated the world. There is no doubt it will be future of smartphone.
Apple will be in the market for few more years and soon it will follow the path of BlackBerry.
