Both Eric Schmidt and Andy Rubin are ex-Apple employees so you can imagine Steve's fury, especialy seeing how Android tackles all of iOS's downfalls  e.g.
-iOS is available on one phone released once a year.
-Android is available on mutiple devices released all year round at a variety of price points.
-iOS isnt that customizable
-Android is highly customizabl
-iOS close
-Android open
etc...
Those aren't 'downfalls' at all.
iOS is exclusive to Apple. That makes a lot of money for Apple while their software competitor (Google) develops and licences their OS for free. Their hardware competitors are in a constant race against each other to differentiate their products which share the same functionality. Advantage Apple.
By customisable do you mean installing unauthorised third party apps? This is a security and quality control feature from Apple that Google and Symbian don't possess. Advantage Apple again.
iOS being closed (as above) is a feature not a bug. Android isn't all that open actually; I've heard it described (accurately) as a trojan for Google's services. Too many dodgy banner ads for my liking are starting to turn me off Android.

I prefer Apple products over their services... I prefer Google services over Apple services. Hence my Macbook Pro for work, and my Android and Google Apps for services.

1. do u really see advantage for a consumer or for a company. company has to have a motive of satisfying customer needs. a device without a bluetooth file transfer wil no longer satisfy the customer.
2.  u mean Ios is secured?? then wat u call RIM os as?. most of the Android OEM's allowing the consumer to unlock the boot loader since they wanted to satisfy the customer that doesnot meant that OS is insecure.
3.open always leads to development. unix is more secured than windows though its open. Android is not only used in mobile it spans across many electronics unlike IOS.
4.i see ur avatar is X10 not Iphone. Android advanage!! 
pull down status bar is copied by both symbian and IOS. then how damn IOS claiming android stealing their ideas? i'm sure ditching pull down status bar will kill the most of the functional aspects of the IOS.

Well since Apple have now been granted the patent which describes how to unlock a device with a swipe gesture im sure Steve can rest easy knowing Apple are putting up a good fight against the droid army.
Which i find sad, its a bit over the top with such a patent.

I believe it indicates that Apple are not fond of competition

Just a question.
Do you think it is best if Apple has full control over every available application available for your iMac? That every application running on Apple hardware must be approved by Apple?
If not. Why not?
What is the difference between an iMac and iPhone when it comes to "quality control feature"?

P.S. It's not a fair fight, Apple has four beam sabers and Android has only two

The cut's clean, and Android makes a gundam pose  (at least the way i see it) the designer should have at least included some exploding-circuit effect on the apple robot to make it epic

@Miss UK this time last year you said to me in the chat thread Sean don't you dare buy an iphone. I decided to try it out and you have said you don't like its design as its not changed. Now you have bought one. Now who is confused.com?? And please don't say you never said them words because you did. And its got nothing to do with black or white iphone. And no i am not after an argument
