Let's remember that the iPhone is a good product - it makes a lot of people happy and it turns a great profit for its company.
Android has simply proven, first, that choice is good over one size fits all, and is now proving that when there's choice, there's bound to be higher-end as well as lower-end choices.
Android's success has green-lighted makers to come out with high-end choices like the 3D as a lower-risk proposition.
HTC made the first Android phone, so it kinda makes me smile that they're making the beast that will be the 3D.
Apple? More power to 'em, I say.
