Please compile a short list of what innovations you would like to see.
I'd say that virtually every manufacturer out there is still playing catch-up with Apple. Screen size isn't an innovation. Nor is removable memory (those are modifications to the basic setup). Look beyond the hardware, too. The App Store is still light years beyond anything else. Android is a fractured mess.
Also consider the usefulness of such features. My iPhone was dropped into a lake last year; yet within 15 minutes of buying a new one I had all of my contacts, apps, photos, etc back - thanks to iCloud and wireless automatic backups to my computer. My sister, who never updated her Android OS on her Samsung, lost everything from the last two years when her phone was stolen. Sure, she could have backed up everything...but most people never do, and almost nobody else does it with regularity. My iPhone takes care of that for me after I touched a button one time - silently, in the background, and unfailingly covering my butt.
Depending on which Android OS, which version of which phone, and whether you have the memory card with the right application on it, you may be able to kinda do the same thing. Almost. If you remember.
