<< The search giant said that despite selling 4 million units within the first 7 months of its release, the iPhone was ultimately a more limited device than phones which ran on the Google-backed platform, because the potential for developers to build new applications using Android was greater. >>

Hmmm, last time I checked there aren't any Android based phones available on the market. The iPhone is going to have a major firmware update in June and the SDK has already had over 100,000 downloads. The article states that the Apple SDK costs $99, which is untrue. The SDK is totally free, the $99 fee is to get the app certified and posted to the iTunes app store. I don't see how they can start trash talking before the market can even get their hands on Android based phones.
