iphone is one phone, android is MANY phones with da same OS
this.
the only option apple has to combat this is to release the iphone on other carriers IE verizon

You gotta appreciate Apples strategy releasing the different IPhones, keep 3G out of the 1st Gen, people will buy the next release again. PURE GENIUS!!!

I think a new iphone is about to drop .I mean think about it. You can get a iphone for 99 bucks now. When Apple released this phone it was ground breakingtechnology. All the other brands basically copied there designs in all. The Apple/AT&T vs. Verizon beef is going to get serious. Now to answer yourquestion i dont think its dying. i think the iphone is about to get reborn.

windows mobile is MANY phones as well... and Apple beat them. all android is is HTC's OS just like Nokia runs on symbian OS. either way, allof them have lost to the Iphone OS.
people just dont understand, its not just the phone thats killing these companies, its the software compatibility.
dont get me wrong, im not saying that these HTC/Android phones are trash, they are probably very good phones.
but everyone thinks there will be an iphone killer everytime a company makes a new phone, thats not gonna happen

So much speculation. First of all, the iphone not changing its form factor has been nothing but good for the device. Think about it, even OP feelslike he has the same phone as someone who just copped a 3GS, even though there are many huge differences between the iphone 2G and its successors. That rightthere means the phone holds its value. You can still sell a 2-year old iphone for a pretty good price. Most phones are pretty useless 2 years after they'vebeen released. Secondly, having more platforms (*ahem* also multiple OS's, not everyone is running android 2.0 on their devices) is bad for app developers.Let's be real here too, the apps are very important. If apps will ultimately decide if any phone kills the iphone, then read on...
Android DevelopersUnhappy
Android's rapid growth has some developers worried
All just speculation right now also, but it's hard to see anything overtaking the iphone/ipod app store. Finally, we're comparing an OS to a phone?When google actually releases their phone though, that's when Apple really gotta watch out.

windows mobile phones suck & microsoft is selling da OS to hardware manufacturers, android is FREE and gettin adopted by everyone at a rapid rate..
and
if anything microsoft is da one worst out of anyone, their tentacles have been tapered to PC's laptops & netbooks, they've all but lost da mobilephone world, in my opinion
windows mobile 7 will be too lil too late.
like i said da iphone can't kill da entire industry if its run by android....RIM and microsoft though better watch they back.

I still have my 1st gen on tmobile since the first christmas after that summer it came out.
At the end of the day its the most easily customized phone out.
Unlocked and jailbroken = endless possibilities and free apps galore.
I'm kind of getting tired of it..(yet I can't find a better phone that has so many crazy options ).
People are still interested and love the iphone..the appeal is not dying.
If anything its picking up steam as AT&Ts exclusive contract end is approaching and other carriers pick it up.

Speaking as a developer, I'd much rather develop for the iPhone as opposed to Android. I mean, iPhones are all the same specs-wise (for the most part) andthat makes it way easier for me. Eventually, I will start developing for Android as well but I'll wait for a bit more consensus.
