    I’m not sure how Android has become the most popular platform, I have used the iPhone and enjoyed it till I got Pickpocted. I then moved to Samsung Galagxy S and regret for buying it. The phone hangs, at times it’s response to commands is slow and for upgrades for Samsung is delayed by almost 6 months or more. Is this a problem of Samsung or is it a generic problem of Android platforms?

    Andoid will become the platform for all phones except Apple, basically there will be all phones and there will be Apple. History will repeat itself just as it did when Apple and the PC (with Microsoft OS) was released. There were all PC and then there was Apple!
