Ever since the concept of a Google Phone or gPhone was suggested, pundits and analysts alike have theorised about the battle between it and the iPhone. Since Google’s announcement of Android and the Open Handset Alliance, the side-taking has reached even headier heights; although there have been a few voices of relative reason - ARM’s Warren East, for instance - the temptation of a headline grabbing story featuring two emotive companies has lured in many. Thankfully, as theorised for a while now over at Google-Phone, more people are waking up to the idea that actually, Apple really isn’t Android’s main target; in fact, they may have a common (though undiscussed) goal of disrupting the market status-quo.

Flash memory is probably the most expensive part that other companies are looking to adopt, namely because there is such a shortage of the stuff.
