Android owners catch iPhone fever: Apple fanboys aren't the only ones clamoring for the next iPhone. A new survey from Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. suggests that Android phone owners may be as well. Analyst William Power surveyed 2,000 people, of whom 39 percent are eligible for an upgrade and another 6 percent will be within three months. Of those, 45 percent plan to purchase an iPhone, 31 percent were undecided and only 22 percent plan to buy an Android phone. Of current Android owners, 34 percent were undecided and 17 percent said they plan to purchase an iPhone. Power interprets those numbers to mean that more than 50 million people may buy the next iPhone in the U.S. alone.
