And will Google do to Apple what Microsoft did in the '90s?
Android is gaining market share—at Apple's expense:
Once again you have Apple's proprietary OS and high-end products competing with an OS that any manufacturer can license. Sure, you can end up with a lot of junky products, but low price combined with roughly comparable performance ultimately wins.
By the mid-'90s, the Mac's market share was down to about 3%. Is that where iOS is headed?
