The question that comes to mind after reading the article is "Who cares?"

Nowadays - in my humble opinion - people purchase phones to satisfy a need inclusive of the basic phone call one. Some users think that the X phone is cool or easier to use than the other one. If say the iPhone is cooler than an Android based one, then no article from Techcrunch is going to convince the user to purchase one over the other.

Let's not forget that the people that do not follow stats and capabilities and specifications and purchase a phone because it is cool are not going to read Techcrunch therefore the article brings the "Who cares" question in my mind.

Concluding, don't we have better things to discuss than oh how the mighty iPhone has been surpassed by the even mightier Android one?

Thought exactly the same thing when I read the title of the link.

Also thought "Bet that MG Siegler guy wrote that, don't think I'll bother reading it."

Who cares?

Well, as an application developer I care.

As someone who runs a mobile company, do I need to start looking at android, and even other OS?

why? if you are an application developer you should care about market statistics not what bloggers think of the phones.
