Make cheap phone with a huge display, to appeal to lower class people. Sounds like Android in USA!
Damn that was a bold stereotype. Even though I know people that live check to check with iPhones barley keeping the service on.

Maybe its just me - but I've never really understood the well-trodden opinion that iPhones with various screen sizes would prove too much of an issue for developers. Android screen sizes are all over the place, and nowadays there aren't any issues there.
I bet it looks terrible with that low DPI but the screen size is what people will buy it for.OUCH! That's a lot to give up on. If the display is what you're really after then it's a win. It reminds me of the $1000 17" display laptops of yore. A notch above netbook specs with a 1440x900 rez 17" display at $999!

and that's when I knew for sure that this wasn't going to happen.
And? Most people prefer phones that are bigger than the iPhone. I'm sorry but it is clear. If you can't see that you are simply blind. I know the demographic of this site prefers what we have. That's not what the rest of the world likes. Clearly.
You assume they give a horse's poop about marketshare. They don't. They care about the cash. At the end of the day their 'shrinking' marketshare (which is due to an increase in the overall market total not a decrease in their sales) is bringing in vaults worth of cash. They can pull a Scrooge McDuck with the company's daily sales. And that's all they care about.
Not the zero sum of marketshare. As Apple says 'us winning doesn't have to mean everyone else loses'
It is exactly what has always happened with jewelry. Higher-class has usually prefferend miniature, finely-crafted jewels, while lower-class has always preferred huge stones and chains. A bigger screen makes more light and is more noticeable.
Just put cell capabilities in a Touch 4G body and it will sell like hotcakes.
Unfortunately android offers no high end smaller sized phones.
