Yes, just like they've predicted MS would fold to linux. However, sometimes a threat can be real. In most of those "threats" you really didn't have something that worked as well as the Apple product. With Android, it actually does some things better and it is improving rapidly. When you look at the hardware there's no advantage to Apple Iphone or IPad hardware. Particularly with the IPhone currently, there are Android based products that do everything that IPhone hardware can do and do it better. Cameras 8Mpix back and 1.3 front, memory upgradeable, screen size and resolution, price (cheaper), performance (1ghz ARM), graphics, gps (turn nav free), radio reception (better), speakers, mics, network performance (4G), battery (replaceable), etc. etc. and do it all cheaper.

So if someone creates a $159 that's close enough. It's gonna hurt.
