Macworld Opinion: iPhone trumps Android

While I generally agree that there is more than just openness to choosing between iPhone and Android, I do take issue with this quote in an article that compares iPhone development and Android development:

The first generation iPhone sold pretty well, but was only after the debut of tools like push email – intended for business use – that sales of the iPhone 3G soared.

To try to make the connection that the iPhone sales increased because of features like push mail completely ignores the fact that iPhone sales increased after the price dropped to $199. The ability to install new applications and a huge price drop undoubtedly did a lot more to grow iPhone sales than push email.
