Fast is bad for integration. Android is inconsistent and terrible for automobile integration because they keep changing direction.

Can you imagine the the difficulty of trying to keep up with that. So any software they wrote to be compatible with Andriod via usb could be broke 9 times before you release the car and who know how many times before you do a redesign. So they would need to have the customer come in to update their radio to be compatible. Or maybe it might work with this phone but not a thousand other ones. While on the other hand, Apple has a program built around the use of their iPod doc connector that is on every IOS device. They work with the manufactures to make sure it works as advertised with out issue. It has worked the same since 2003. Chaos with Android or Consistency with IOs. From the iPod nano to iPhone to iPad, they all work the same. Android has no compatible program so Bluetooth will continue to be the only way to access it.

Oh, yeah, Apple likes to control the whole stack so they can get paid. Too bad.

Yup like'em or not, Apple knows how to monetize their offerings.
It doesn't change the fact that it has made their products something with enough stability to be the choice of more than one car manufacturer.

Cumulative sales over such a long time are irrelevant since most people change phones every other year.
What is important is what people have been buying in the last nine months to a year... that tells you where the market is going.
Looking at people who bought an iPhone three years ago is irrelevant because three years ago there was no real alternative. Who is to say they won't shift to an Android.
And, before you say otherwise... let me tell you my experience. Chez moi we have four smart phones... one iPhone and three Android. My son wanted the iPhone, but his experience compared with our Androids, and his experience with the Apple experience has left him cold... he told me that next go around he's going to Android.
I hardly thing he's unique. The Android experience is like driving a fast car with a great radar detector on the I70 across Utah.
The iPhone experience is like driving the Santa Monica freeway during the rush hour listening to good jazz music.

What the charts show are the mobile OS users use in respective periods, not cumulative sales, PERIOD.
I guess most phone users got their phones under term-contracts, usu. two years, no?

All that counts is what really works. I have both Toyotas and Hondas and my old fashioned original Droid works on all of them with streaming audio and the ability to change tracks down and up with the steering wheel controls. I haven't tried the usb because there is no need since it works and sounds great through Bluetooth.
The new Hondalink looks even better. Looking forward to trying it out.
