Gruber on Android

“I worry that’s going to be the Android community — forever talking about the next year’s batch of phones, because the ones available now just are second-rate.” - John Gruber

From his follow-up to “The Android Opportunity”.

Gruber absolutely hits the nail on the head with his comment that Android hardware designers have to just crush the iPhone in at least one aspect to make a product that has an appeal other than “it’s not an iPhone.” Make it the best cameraphone ever - like the quality of a Canon compact camera with phone functions (including real flash!) Or make it the best gaming device ever - a Nintendo DS with a phone.
