Iphone Talk have an interesting look at comparing the new Motorola Droid (Android) to the iPhone.
They say “While the Droid is far and away the best phone that Motorola has on the market, it hardly puts the iPhone to shame. To say that it is not competitive would be a lie, but the iPhone still seems to be the easier of the two to use and already has quite a following. The only thing the Droid will end up doing is preventing the Verizon customers that were getting ready to jump at the end of their current contract over to AT&T.”
“While Droid has the advantage of knowing what the iPhone lacks, you would think that they would have done a better job in every category. It starts with the onscreen keyboard as the Droid is a little bit too touchy and makes a lot of mistakes. Touch screen keyboards are always iffy, but the iPhone is much smarter in this area.”
“The browser on the iPhone is also better because of the sheer speed in which it operates. The downloads are quicker and the images are much better as well. The one area where Verizon gets a slight edge is in the navigation tool as the iPhone runs Google Maps, but does not feature the navigation feature that the Droid has. You can make a purchase in the app store, however, for a navigation tool that will alleviate this.”
“When it comes to the app store, it is not even close. The Droid has about 10,000 apps and the iPhone has about 10 times that amount. The challenge for Droid is going to be to try and catch up here as it is one of the major drawing points of the iPhone. This is unlikely as the iPhone seems to be putting out a new app just about every day.”
“While the iPhone still holds its own, it will definitely be challenged by the Droid and the next version should be something to see. Because the Droid allows better multi-tasking, has an actual keyboard and has some apps that are better, the iPhone should and probably will go to the drawing board to offer its users a better product. This is going to be a fun battle to watch where the real winner is going to be the smart phone users.”
Sounds already that the Droid still isn’t a match for the iPhone yet. Time will tell when we start seeing more positive reviews for the Droid.
