IPhone vs Android

< Google < Some hot subjects in the Tech industry <

Because Google makes its software available free to a range of phone manufacturers, there are dozens of different Android-compatible devices on the market, each with different screen sizes, memory capacities, processor speeds and graphics capabilities. An app that works beautifully on, say, a Droid might suffer from glitches on a phone made by HTC.

In a religious sense, the iPhone is a monotheistic religion. Basically, its OS believes in one device. Yes, I know there is the iPod touch, as well as variations of the iPhone (original, 3G, 3GS), but these are essentially all the same device with essentially the same hardware, just boosted specs. http://techcrunch.com/2009/10/26/the-problem-with-iphone-killers/ The Problem With iPhone Killers…

The iPhone is still way out in front but it’s USPs are on the wane. A year ago it was the only touch screen handset in the top ten and now there are five and six have mobile application stores. Plus it will now have to compete with turn by turn GPS navigation bundled free with Android . http://www.theequitykicker.com/2009/11/03/admob-data-android-making-great-progress/ Admob data – Android making great progress | The Equity Kicker

He’s a bit biased toward the Palm, and ran the first Palm Pre Dev Camp but he’s also a mobile freak and has an iPhone and an HTC Hero, which runs an older version of the Android OS.

Verizon Droid Sells 100,000 Units At Launch http://mashable.com/2009/11/10/verizon-droid-sales/ According to the report, that means that about half of the 200,000 phones that Verizon stocked in its stores and authorized retailers were sold over the weekend. That’s a solid launch, and certainly nothing to scoff at, but it certainly can’t compete with the 1 million plus sales weekends for both the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS.

Looking at the comments from my Droid vs. iPhone vs. Palm Pre post (hundreds of them) there are quite a few that think I wasn’t fair to the Droid. Why I disagree with @Arrington about Droid http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/13/arrington-droid/
