Looking at the Android and iPhone race right now, one thing seems clear to me. In 10 years, when people look back at the Android / iPhone race. One thing will be clear, Apple exclusivity contract with AT&T will be reason why Android was able to get into the market and rapidly gain market share and actually compete with the iPhone.
Here's my reasoning: The iPhone is great, and so is Android, so how to choose? Many people either don't want to leave there carrier, they are scared to death of the nightmare that is AT&T, or they are tired of waiting for Apple to release the phone to other carriers. Mix that with lots of Android models and price points combined with a public that is increasingly warming up to the smart phone concept.
So while the exclusivity deal with AT&T is a huge boon for Apple, it may also be one for Android.
