I posted this because I'm curious to see how the "Android will win because there will be a race to the bottom" crowd responds to it.
$49 is still a lot of money for some people but those people generally won't buy smartphones (if $49 is a lot to you than you probably aren't going to be able to pay it monthly for a data plan). So even if free Android phones flood the market I don't see it making much of a difference.
It is a model that was released 18 months ago, already has a newer version available, and will have yet another newer version available in ~six months time...
You can't expect prices of old iPhones to stay high permanently.
