> Here in India one can get an Android phone(1.6) for 7000rs( 120 $) which is a very competitive price, where iphone 3gs costs around 32000rs ( 650 $).

Are they comparable phones? If nothing else, there've been two major Android OS revisions since 1.6.

I think his point is they don't need to be comparable. Apple "over-delivers" because of its core demographic and commitment to a small product range. This naturally limits adoption outside that demographic. Though Apple perhaps doesn't care because they're targeting the richest consumers in the richest nations.

They are not and a comparable Android phones costs around 27 k( 520$). But here we are talking of pervasiveness of the platforms rather then capabilities of the phones.
