In all of the discussion and pondering over the Captivate vs. the iPhone, I must say that I might actually go back to Apple's flagship IF:
1. ...the next iPhone used an OLED screen. During the keynote, Jobs said that Apple didn't feel like the technology was ready for the cell phone market. I, of course, disagree. Sometimes I find myself picking up Sally just to look at the beautiful, oversaturated screen. Of course, I'm not sure I could go back to Apple's smaller format, but a combo between their new super-high-resolution screen and OLED technology would be an easy win.
2. ...the guys developing iDroid could get a stable, user-friendly install of Android on iDevices. (I actually have Android installed on my iPhone 3G, but I'm having fits trying to get openiBoot installed, so I can't get it to work.) Anyway, I have to admit that Apple makes beautiful hardware. In my fiddling with the iPhone 4, I've found it quite pleasant to hold and look at. It sucks that you can't get to the battery easily, but neither can dust, moisture, etc. But I couldn't give up Android. If there is one thing I hate about the iPhone, it's iOS. I always hack the hell out of my devices, and just the fact that Apple tries to maintain a walled garden doesn't sit well with me.
So imagine with me if you will, a next generation iPhone, [4.0"] OLED screen, running Android 3. I could go for that. (Of course, all of the android devices on the market by that time might easily outshine it)
