Seriously, the whole reason Android even got big is because people didn't have a choice and the only smartphone options were either old crappy WinMo or a substitute like Android.
I think Apple now realizes that and why we might see iphones on Verizon. Once that happens, the iphone will kill off Android sales.

I disagree that it would kill Android sales..you have to remember that there is a huge market and it is growing every year...there are other things like RIM and dumbphones and etc...
Also iPhone has only 1 form factor which not everyone may particularly like...in the end of the day there are many factors...will the iphone increase in sales? probably yes..will it kill android? no..will android grow? yes
In reality I see in the future the iphone come closer in openess little by little if it plans to actually survive in the coming years against android..
