The 10 million dollars concepts will bring in tons of apps too.

I'm not arguing for a second that the Google phone won't be better. I have never used an Iphone and have no real use for most of the features on it so I won't be getting it or the Google phone any time soon.
That said look at the number of MP3 players out there. Many are better. Almost all of them are cheaper and yet the are crushed by the Ipod. People skip work to stand in line and get the Iphone. It isn't about the service. It isn't about the apps. It isn't about functionality or cost. Simply put the Iphone is cool. Apple is brilliant at their marketing and unless you can either convince people that your phone is cooler or you can make is so cheap that it can be sold for next to nothing it will be very hard to beat the Iphone.
Maybe it will, but so far when it comes to phones and Ipods, Apple has slain all comers.
