Android running on an iPhone?

This was probably already posted but I am not finding it with a search so if it is a repost, tough.

I love both but I will say that as close as Android has come to being better than iPhone OS - and it quite possibly is with 2.2 - no product has unseated the iPhone. And likewise, I don't expect an iPad killer device either.

Summary: History isn't on Android's side.

To me, it's going to come down to the sheer number of devices that will be available running Android...

History is definitely on Android's side... if you look at it big picture... closed platforms have almost always lost out to more open ones... but again, all just speculation until we see product on the market.. which is at least a month away.

I feel that the first Android 2.2 tablet that has 4G support, decent battery life and all the standard whistles and bells (SD card slot, usb, hdmi, etc etc) will be a genuine i-pad killer... who knows when that will materialize though.
