Certainly the android phone is a competitor to the iPhone now. The whole community including the app store is what makes the iPhone successful. As many people have said, even if a phone comes out that is as good or better as the iPhone, it will only be equal to or better than the iPhone when it has the same community of support and apps.

I personally think that the Android's biggest issue is that it does not have a very solid main place where everyone comes for apps and even if that happened, it would need a lot of publicity, just like the iPhone got.

that may have been true in the early days of the tmobile g1, but i can't even recall any apps i've installed that weren't from the android market on my tmobile mytouch. i would wager many mytouch users don't even know it's possible to install apps that don't come from the market.
