That would be Google, which now has 36.4% (and growing) of smartphones running its O/S. And don’t you worry about Google...I’m sure they can afford it.

Google's problem is not a lack of cash, it's a lack of trust, and the fact that the labels and publishers won't sign any agreements with them to ALLOW them to stream content to Android devices. That's a big problem... And Amazon has a similar problem. Apple on the other hand has just inked contracts with all of the big labels and publishers outlining how they will be paid and protected. Apple established trust through years of keeping agreements and DRM in iTunes.

You REALLY think they aren’t going to get it done with Google in some way shape or form and miss out on that cash cow?

Not even Apple insiders including Steve Jobs think that. You, of the Apple PR department, paid or not (and we all hope you get some cold cash for it, otherwise why do it), like the Microsoft promoter fanatic who preceded you on this forum, invented this ridiculous fan song that you sing every time something related and positive to Apple happens. It is not credible, not persuasive, and turning off potential customers, sanely skeptical of such fanaticism.

I say it all as a longtime Apple investor, who, despite your recent assertion to deny it without any proof whatsoever, knows well more than one Apple insider, for all it serves me, and truthfully it is not much.

Chill out, Apple is good without buttboys promoting it.
