Phones with a retail price of 100-175 dollars are available right now on the market that run Android.

My guess is that we will see Android phone prices stabilize at around $60-75 on the lowest of the low end.

That would be the start of world domination by Android devices. Perhaps like PC, but this time it will happen faster.

I think the price floor for phones will end up being lower than that. You can get Chinese-made mp3 players for $10 now; who would have expected that a few years ago?

In related news, Huawei's Android tablet is apparently doing well in Africa. I don't know what the price is in USD, though.
