Marco's "what will be different in 6 months?" question gave me a chuckle when you consider that native development for the iPhone is only about 3.5 years old and the rapid pace of change in the industry.
Anyway, Schmidt enumerated some differences:
- he thinks the software (ICS) has caught up to iOS
- Google has made it a core objective to get all the hardware vendors on ICS
- the Android Market has improved and now offers carrier billing
- volume favors Android
I don't know if he's right, but it's certainly a reasonable argument and not at all threatening or arrogant.
To me, Marco reads something nefarious or coercive into the "whether you like it or not" phrase which I don't think was intended.
