Please define "losing ground," as the iPhone has also consistently increased its market share.

Lee provides a laundry lists of reasons why Android phones sell better, but really there's one that's bigger than all the others: price. , about 27 percent said they chose the phone because of either the cost of the plan or the cost of the device, as opposed to the 11 percent who said it was the phone's design. The feature-fetishist segment of the market isn't driving sales as much as the price-sensitive segment of the market. And Android phones simply cost less.

Android's relatively liberal licensing model will make it much easier for overseas partners to customize Google's software to the needs of local markets, while Apple's "my way or the highway" licensing model rubs potential partners the wrong way.

You know what doesn't rub them the wrong way? In most markets, the iPhone sells better than any other brand. That's attractive to carriers. You look like a chump if you don't offer the iPhone.

Ugh, we've been over this soooo many times the Macalope wants to rip his own Classic Mac face off. Lee's got nothing new here. He still ignores all the counter-arguments. Every day is like Groundhog Day with these people.
