Android is a less rigid alternative to iOS. It's for people and developers who want more freedom. You can't stop something like that. Yes, Android may just be riding on Apple's success, but then everything has to start from somwehere. Even if you want to denounce history of art and create an art no one has done before, you'd still be basing this 'new' art on the history, because only then you'll know what no one has done before. Everything's created based on something. Android was created because of some lacking in all the OSes in the world including iOS. Simple. I think Apple will continue to have marketshare success no so much due to the iOS alone but due to marketing and overwhelming development support. It's not the Holy Grail by a long shot so we shouldn't treat it like it is.
