[...] • Marketshare — By the time Nexus is sold, it’s likely for Apple to announce an iPhone/iPod touch userbase of 60-70 million. That’s the most profitable segment of the industry with a demonstrated history of purchasing behavior and billions of dollars of investment in devices, peripherals, content, apps and other sticky aspects of the Apple ecosystem.

The Pre and its WebOS are cogent enough to speak for themselves. They pass phase I with accolades, now they have to pass Stage II with the consumers.

Get it launched before you lose valuable time!

It’s a rare phone that gets people to switch carriers like the iPhone has. Despite all the Pre hype I don’t think it has that kind of pull.
