firstly i can always change the quote to "thats just like their opinion man"

Secondly, and i quote "That said, Nielsen’s stats also suggest a fair number of Android users – 21% to be exact – still have iPhone envy and would like to make the switch for their next device. The opposite is true for only 6% of iPhone owners. It will be interesting to see how an iPhone on a different carrier might change the dynamics of this ongoing battle"

A simpler, more intuitive interface which is everything for some people. Very integrated and its looks cool. More than enough for regular (non-geeks) people

its just a bit weird that although verizon has 4G already, Apple refused to make the iphone 4G capable, so everyone's gonna buy it now, and then in a couple months they're gonna come out with one that works with 4G. they know people are gonna buy it...

Ya, well I thought the original iPhone had no chance (Edge internet, little onboard memory/no expansion card, cost $600 with a 2 year contract) and yet it sold millions.

Im sure this will as well.

I've used both, and IMO the interfaces are very similar. I don't think there is anyone that can work an iphone, that can't work a 'droid

(by similar, I mean from a "non-geek" stand point)

I'm not taking sides, but I gotta give it to both sides of this discussion, y'all make some very valid points.

+1. I'm surprised no one's mentioned the near-perfect compatibility with other apple products.

its all part of Apple's agenda, that all their products work very well together, so if u own a mac, you'd also buy an iPad, etc. more and more money...
apple tries to get the eye by making very slik stuff, but sometimes u gotta look past that, and see what its really made of...

For anyone who has the least bit of technical aptitude, what compatibility is lacking when used with other non-Apple products?
