Android 2.2, Froyo is slowly being rolled out, but ‘Gingerbread’, scheduled for a Q4 launch, will OBLITERATE Apple and iOS, according to half the tech industry. This is because, in their heads, Steve Jobs has decided to jack in his role as a visionary and become a gardener. Consequently, while he will remain as Apple CEO, the company will not move forward from this point on, allowing even Nokia to eventually speed past.

Alternatively, tech industry hacks, bear in mind that Apple develops stuff too. I’m sure Gingerbread will better Froyo, but I’m equally sure iOS 4.3 or 5.x will better iOS 4.2 (coming in November) and iOS 4.1. Making comparisons about something that doesn’t even exist in the wild versus something released this month—especially in such a fast-moving industry—is stupid, so stop doing it.
