Aside from the obvious issue of the AT&T network being one of the iPhone's biggest Achilles' heels, the other major trump card this article seems to ignore (odd since it's about the apps) is that the Droid apps are all FREE. You know, just like the open-source updates that one can download to change any non-hardware limited features you don't like? Free. Big difference. Well said.

Total cost out of pocket was under 700$ and most of that was the computer. To do anything with Nokia or Microsoft was thousands of dollars. I plan on using the revenue from my iPhone applications to pay off my house. I am being empowered by Apple's iPhone and see absolutely no reason at the present time to try and write any applications for Android 2.0 Actually:

The iPhone or any other platform lives and dies based on the applications that are available. This weekend I helped my 61 year old father buy an iPhone 3GS after 7 years of Nokia smart phones because of one single application that was available for the iPhone and he wanted for when he was flying his private plane.

When major insurance companies make applications for an Android instead of the iPhone, I will worry about Apple's iPhone application dominance. Until then, every time my father shows one of his flying buddies what he can do with his phone now; there will be that much more draw to the iPhone and away from the current flavor of the day.
