I think that as long as cellphones do not have these proprietary technologies, websites are going to be that much likely to use them for their content. I would like to see ogg theora/vorbis integrated into web browsers, including mobiles, so that we have completely open technologies for multimedia being the norm. I think these technologies would be easier to port to a wide variety of cell phones and mobiles, because support is already possible with extra software.

You instantly compared the G1 Android platform to the iPhone. Besides a touchscreen, how are there any similarities to these devices? I see more differences than similarities. I don't know how tech savvy you are, but the reason true techies laugh at the iPhone and Mac culture in general is the lack of product knowledge by its consumers. iPhone users are spoon-fed technology, heavily hampered by its overseers. The iPhone is a nice featurephone with an SDK. The G1 is a multitasking desktop replacement more similar to Windows XP/Vista than the "runs one app at a time" iPhone. The hardware is better, the camera is better, the developer environment is better, the proposed audio/video codec support will obviously be better than Mac's strict rules, and its backbone is Linux, and is open source. For the neophyte, the iPhone is a decent introduction. But once you become more advanced, multitasking and openness become more important than cute graphics. They didn't make Vista better, and it doesn't allow Apple to outdo Android. This device should be compared to the Nokia Nseries, Windows Mobile devices, and Blackberries, which are laptop replacements. Anyone ditching their laptops for iPhones?? Not all propaganda is believable. Learn the facts. The iPhone has no features the Nokia N95 8gb lacks, yet the Nokia N95 has multiple features the iPhone lacks. The same in this instance. Android is a computer OS. The iPhone, by definition, isn't even a smartphone, with no multitasking. Its SDK is a nice smart feature, but no one was fooled but those silly enough to buy Macs when PC use better, more up to date hardware. When users can use the entire web, with Flash and Silverlight, instead of static images like Opera Mini, as the iPhone does, and desktop browser-based apps fully work as they do on the desktop, like they do on today's top smartphones, then your statement will have more validity. So far, you've shown no ways the iPhone is superior to any smartphone running Symbian, Android, or even WinMo and RIM.

Than also i do see Android becoming a better software in the long run. Sony comes out with some pretty nice software them self so I don’t see such a bad thing about it.
