Will the Droid ever match IPhone's...

As PPs have mentioned Droid can not compete with any Apple accessories because of the standard USB connection on the phones. It is a shame, because there would be some great after market accessories for Android if there was.

And until these phones start coming out with a standard connection that will allow audio pass through, they can not compete with Apple when it comes to audio media. Motorola calling the Motorola Home Dock a Media Dock was a joke! Being able to drop my iPod into a car dock, home dock, or portable stereo and just hit play is convenient. That is why I don't use my Droid for audio nearly as much as I should.

i own the bose dock and i really really wish i could put my droid on there maybe someone could invent an adaptor

There is an input jack in the back of the Bose dock. You can connect your Droid directly to that jack. That's what I did when I first got the Droid to hear the sound. The sound was great, but it is much easier sticking an iPod in the dock and hitting play.

I doubt that's likely. A2DP is probably as close as we'll get.

Even if there was a standard Android docking connector, accessory makers would still have to deal with numerous different dimensions of the Android devices themselves. While it's true that iPods/iPhones comes in different sizes and shapes there are far fewer permutations than there are with Android.

It's insane how much third part accessories the iPhone has. But I really don't care about having a large selection like "i" products.
As long as there are great accessories, I'll be fine.

quality > quantity
