You just contradicted yourself.
Consumers surely benefit if lots of devs are attracted to a platform like ios because of standardised hardware.
Anyway, most of the time smartphones are bought on contract so the price difference is not as big as people think. My phone company (Sunrise) offers 3Gs for 1 franc as well as the iphone 4 16 GB-I got my iphone 4 at 100 francs because I went for the 32 Gb model for the same unlimited data plan which is where most of the difference lies. The current android top of the line they offer the Samsung Galaxy SII (which a friend has and is pretty happy with) is also 100 CHF with a similar plan.
