Hell, I am typing this on a tablet that predates the iPad.

Apple has one device, Android has dozens. It stands to reason that a single device can't have control of such a vast market as smartphones. Not when business is almost exclusively done on Blackberry, anyway. I'm sure Android isn't going to have nearly the impact on the corporate sector Google hopes it will.
Yes iPhones are more expensive, but you get the added bonus of owning a device that feels like an actual grown-up made it; during my limited experience with the Samsung Galaxy Captivate, all I could think was that a very gifted pre-schooler made a nicely-shaped bit of plastic.
I'm getting an iPad 2 when it drops in Canada in about three weeks, and as far as I'm concerned, it'll reduce my Macbook's responsibilities to downloading torrents, video editing and some light word-processing. Nearly everything I would want to do on a regular computer I can do on an iPad. I trust the company that makes it, as every single product I've ever purchased from them has run flawlessly.
So while Android may have some better technical specs, or access to a bajillion other useless apps (Just like the iPhone, to be fair) Apple has demonstrated that their devices just WORK. And they do that for a very long time. So they will get my money.
