You might think it strange to see Apple
Nope. Android was never meant to destroy the iPhone, and the two companies get along just fine. Google CEO Eric Schmidt has been an Apple board member since 2006, and Genentech CEO Arthur Levinson is a director of both companies, as well. The high-level ties between Google and Apple run very deep.
To Google, the iPhone is just another device that brings the Internet and potential Google users closer together. The iPhone just happens to be really good at it.
The reason that the Android platform exists with Google's official backing is that Apple was picky in choosing a wireless partner. You're stuck with AT&T
But again, there's not much killing going on. Google mainly wants to grow its addressable market. Sure, the iPhone's market share might suffer some collateral damage over time. We've only seen the very first generation of rough-and-ready Androids so far, and there's plenty of room for improvement.
A second- or third-generation Android could put a dent in Apple. But it'll just be a dent. Both platforms should continue to grow their sales for years to come. Oh, and Research In Motion's
If anybody should be scared, it's Microsoft
