Maybe Android will have those, too?
??
On what hardware is it 'stable'? And BTW: Android is a beta.
Neither will be Android.
Not when it comes to smartphones. Prices are not that much different. And maybe you have less data / apps on a smartphone than on a Mac. However, moving data / apps from Mac to Mac is a lot easier. On the other side, moving data / apps when you change to another smartphone OS, things get more difficult, especially if you think of the time you need for similar apps on the new OS and setting up the device like configure data syncing between desktop / mobile or configuring mobile mail, etc.
And why did the iPod survive? Buying a new MP3-Player is even easier.
Sometimes, people are not satisfied with 'good enough', when 'better' actually means 'not more expensive', 'better support', 'easy to use', 'hipp', 'good quality', 'don't need a weekend to configure'.
