Not really...it may have been a selling factor before..but you gotta realize 2 things....

1) no matter how many supported items it can connect to, micro usb will always beat the iphone adapter as a standard..more devices support USB then anything...by using USB you can connect to any standard device as long as a driver is programmed in android...

2) We are in 2010...we should expect the use of DLNA and other similar technologies to wirelessly work together..not limited by form factor or etc..and I can see DLNA as the future standard as all the brands are in on it...

You also have to realize form factor is important..for my job I CANT GO WITHOUT A KEYBOARD on my phone...it is 100% essential...do I sue the keyboard much on my TP2? not really..but when it is used it is irreplaceable!

Last thing you gotta consider is android is released by more then 1 company...1 phone cannot beat 100 manufacturers using it for their core...

as for service..don't get me started on AT&T service in NY lol
