P.S. Saying Google will "beat" Apple is pretty silly. Think about it, each iPhone sold Apple makes a small fortune off of (even more than you'd think because the price is subsidized by the carrier).
Google on the other hand makes exactly nothing when you buy an Android phone. So really, Android could take 75% of the market to Apple's 25%, and Apple would still be raking in the cash while Google lost money. A business plan that wouldn't be possible if Apple took the commodity approach.
Eventually I'm sure Google will figure out a way to make money off the millions of Android users, but so far I think it's a net loss for them.
