I?ve spent some time reading about both the Android 2.2 (Froyo) and the iOS 4.1 update recently. Although it?s a pretty close race, looking at a side-by-side comparison of the two leads me to believe that Android is actually winning by a nose.

One of the main problems that were holding the older versions of Android back was their issues with speed. This problem has now been solved with changes that give the OS a 2x to 5x times performance boost which is epic, and there are even rumors that Google is just being modest and that the speed boost is more like 4x-5x. Can?t understand why people are still freaking out about the iPhone 4?
 
Hi e_expert and welcome to the AC forums.

There are many feature and spec comparisons that show new Android phones to be clear winners over the iPhone 4. This one for example: http://extorian.co.uk/blog/368/samsung-galaxy-s-versus-iphone-4/

One of the reasons people still go on and on about the likes of the iPhone, is that they're sucked into it all. There's a lot of clever marketing, hype, addiction, like with many products. But, the really clever bit is the way you're subtly and slowly forced into doing everything Apple's way. Once you start down that road it's extremely difficult to reverse out of it. So people moving from an iPhone to Android isn't just about changing your phone any more, it's about ditching iTunes, your MP3 collection that is half in AAC format that doesn't play on all non-Apple products, your movies that are all in MOV format and also don't play on all non-Apple products, and so on.
