I'd rather him tell me when the Pixel and Galaxy are going to be priced under $450 instead of having pretty much same price points as the iPhone 7. Can you get an Android phone with many of the same hardware features for $400? Yes. But I guess most people using Android phones are morons too because those aren't the phones most of them buy.

I'm curious if there is any actual value to justify the higher price point other than shiny and new. Constrained supply of OLED screens is really the only excuse they need to price it hihger, but Robert Scoble has been making a bunch of Augmented Reality claims. He's been saying the new phone would go completely clear to make displaying AR better.
