As a long time Verizon Wireless user I finally made the plunge a year or so ago to the iPhone. I must admit the network with AT&T is a bit shaky at times. However, the iPhone more than makes up for the downfall i get from the AT&T network. I also feel the droid will be a formidable competitive device. However, there will always be the Apple user who will not even consider switching…

That is until someone figures out that web apps really are all you need, as long as you have a device that doesn’t bury them an additional level deep (all of them). There’s your game changer.

Actually, there are plenty of dictionary apps for Android. NeuroMobile is supposedly coming to Android as well.

One neat thing about Apps is exclusivity and branding. For example, right now Neuromobile is available for iPhone. But let’s say someone does an application similar to Neuromobile called BrainGo for Android. It might be as good or better than Neuromobile. But Neuromobile has the brand–you wont switch to Android unless there’s a product called “Neuromobile” for Android.

This gives Apple a competitive advantage. Right now, the only “names” are on the iPhone. This is one reason for Apple concentrating on games is that branding is important for games. I want to play Madden ’09 on my smartphone. I’ve never heard of “Fantastic Football ’09″ and I’m not going to shell out my hard-earned money to find out if it’s decent.

Google may have a hard time competing here–their task will mostly be to convince developers to bring their titles from the iPhone and that’s a losing scenario. “BrainGo” and “Fantastic Football ’09″ may be great apps, but they’re not going to bring people to Android. “Neuromobile” and “Madden ’09″ will.

The Admob study confirms that the Blackberry is going the way of the Motorola Razr which I owned. I switched from the Razr to the Blackberry which was a game-changer in its day. I now own an iPhone another game-changer. The difference is that I can’t see how I could ever switch from the iPhone because of the applications like Dictionary.com and NeuroMobile that I rely on. The applications advantage makes the underlying handset technology less relevant. Apple now just has to keep pace with the handset technology and keep churning out great applications. The next version of the iPhone will one-up the the Droid.
