But any sale it takes away from Apple makes me very happy.
But what if it sinks the iPhone?
consumer electronics is a tough business.
You think the Nexus will be good enough to kill the iPhone, like all
those MP3 players out there killed off the iPod market? :)
Read the first line, if you can read. :)
Try to comprehend the first line, if you can. :) "It might not overtake the
iPhone."
Hey, give me a break! I'm only on the 1st cup of coffee! :)
This one time only. :)
iPods are like McDonalds food. They sell alot of them because they are
cheap, crappy, and fast.
This is typical of these rabidly loyal Mac folk. If you
say one thing that isn't 100% behind Apple, their brainwashing
fills in all sorts of stuff. They will think you said something
when you didn't. This is cult-like behavior.

Which makes you... ...very weird.

It won't.

The irony of your reply is overwhelming....

You misspelled "a lot."
It's more likely to sink Windoze CE/Pocket PC/Mobile/Phone*
* whatever it called this week
Sinking Windoze CE/Pocket PC/Mobile/Phone doesn't endanger MS.
Sinking the iPhone sinks Apple.
I don't think anyone of these little gadgets will sink
the other. They sold 50 million Blackberries and 21 million
iPhones. There is enough room for lots of companies to make a
big profit on these gadgets. I was just looking at the Zune.
It's supposed to be a total flop but it took the Zune three
years to get 10% of that market and sell 3 million units. Now
that's about half of what Apple did with the iPod. So who's to
say what will happen eight years down the road? Nobody knows. I
remember when everyone had a Sony Walkman back in the 80s. Then
they went out of style as more and more little companies took
little bites. I see this happening in all these gadget markets.

Not likely. Nexus one is really slick, to be sure. But it's not the
iPhone. Robert Dotson (T-Mo's CEO) has said he will do everything in
his power to get iPhone at T-Mobile this year.
The only thing that can kill the iPhone is AT&T and it's constant
dropped calls.
