I (as a consumer) don’t care who “wins” as long as nobody dominates the market. I even think that’s a distinct possibility but I don’t really know whether my prediction for a fragmented market (kind of like the car market) with no clear winner is merely wishful thinking. As is I (as a consumer) would be slightly less intimidated by an Android dominated market. (Which is funny because if I needed a smartphone I would buy an iPhone.) It’s harder for three players (Google, handset makers, carriers) to be evil than for two (Apple, carriers).

I don’t expect the market to develop very analogous to the PC market at all and I especially think that you can’t just point at that and say it will happen again.
