Clearly, the iPhone 4 is the best phone yet from Apple, no doubt. We had seen it before via Giz, so the hardware wasn’t that impressive, its shifted from the typical smooth iPhone look to the crisp, edgy Macbook Pro kinda look. Also, its gotten thinner, impressive !

But in the software section, I think most of the improvements were predictable. Improved camera, Video chat (come on, its available already on Android phones and that too Android – other handsets), Better battery life etc. In my opinion, these weren’t surprises, these ought to have been there on the next iPhone, so it didn’t excite me much.

The striking thing is that, iPhone is going in a completely different direction as the Android. While the Android goes the “cloud” way, iPhone is going the typical Apple way with sexy hardware and a pay-me-take-it app store market. Many Android devices have shown close to or even better tech specifics than the iPhone 4, but no one yet has put things together as the iPhone, except for the HTC Evo.

Even the new features like iMovie edit is not really a value addition unless you’re someone who’d taken an oath that you’d use only Apple products. A better movie editing app is probably in the Android Market now and getting an update most likely.

Android is no match for the iPhone and vice versa

An iPhone is an iPhone and comparing it to an Android is unfair because both even though crosses over at various functions, are growing in different directions. iPhone is looking at creating its own slice of market, while Android is going the more popular way of open source even without the charm of an iPhone.

So which is better – is an unfair question. A lot of it depends on what the user type is. If you’re the open source type, Android is for you, but if you’re an Apple fan and the loyal kind, the iPhone is for you.

However here’s a feature by feature comparison considering the HTC Evo 4G on Android 2.1. Correct me if wrong.
