Android VS Ipods

Hey

So as most of us have been looking very forward to the ipod/ipad app from hog. my question is are there any plans to release an android app. There are so many android tablets is all price ranges coming onto the market. I can understand the pain it will be with the large variety. but is it even a plan in the works? I personally prefer android over the apple system any day.

Any coments?

    Well Tim,
    I think software rules all.
    Microsoft office is only available for 2 platforms, Windows and OSX.
    While things like Open office exist, they don't' really work as well as the "real thing"
    If you are building a server, by all means linux is the way to go.
    if you are trying to have a computer for 99.9% of the world, windows or osx are the way to go.
    More support, and easier to use, with infinitely more software options.

    And as for Apple "bailing from the server market", There are many server farms running right now, on nothing but mac minis.
    the server farm is one of the more popular purposes of that computer.

    You may be correct that the xserve line is discontinued, but they are definitely still serving the small business/home server market.
    Lion will also include a unlimited server license with every OS sold.
    They are doing away with the separate server versions.
    This can only expand the use of osx as a server.

    Also, I don't think you responded to my ipod touch comments above:
    I do have issue with your statement that the ipod touch is just a MP3 player.
    It is the exact same device as a iphone, without the phone.
    It runs the same apps, and with very few limitations (GPS), works the same.
    The ipod touch starts at $229.
    What price do android devices start at?
    Do they have a similar product?
