For example, appstore has Plants vs Zombies. Android market does not (for now at least). This is a fact.

err, Android has this game way before now.

I am not an Apple Fan boy, i've been using PDA since Windows CE, then Android, then IOS, i used to hate Apple as their hardware is always inferior compare to others(HTC, Samsung), however, after getting my hands on Apple, I realised that a GREAT hardware without good apps is like  a magazine with a good Cover but no contents.

Android market is full of craps? I can say the same for Appstore.
Spyware? Yes there are, mostly wallpapers,
but the fact is, being an Android user myself, I have never encountered any spyware before.
You're responsible for what you're installing,
if you're simply installing lots of things and not even paying attention to what they have access to, then its your own fault.
reason why Appstore has more quality apps, simply because it is more mature compared to Android market,
it came out earlier, so of course it gets more apps.
if you compare apps available for Android to WP7, can you say that WP7 gives crappy user experience?
just because they have way less apps?

which Android device do you own btw?
different Android phone determines different user experience.
its not fair to compare a mid range Android phone to iPhone, because their price is already not a fair comparison.
try to compare it to Nexus S, the latest phone with the Google brand.
pure Android OS without any crappy tweaks from Samsung.
get some hands on experience on Nexus S, then compare it to iPhone 4.

what kind of surprise is that? Free video calls? you can already do that on Android, or even Symbian, through Nimbuzz. sweat.gif
even phones without front camera can do video calls.
Yes, its undeniable that Appstore has more quality apps,
but as I already said in above, Appstore is more mature, also,
iOS only need to develop for one device, while Android has many different hardware to be supported,
hence why Android always get them slower.

Not saying Android is better or anything, but its not inferior either, you have to realize that both Android and iOS is different.
for instance, widgets and unlimited customizations, is something iOS will never have.

All the major Android phones seem to suffer from some kind of problem...

- The Samsung Galaxy S has a serious software and GPS lag issue
- The Desire HD has very poor battery life, a lower-quality display and iffy camera quality
- The Nexus S doesn't support 720p recording (!)

As for Android vs iOS:
- The iPhone UI is slightly snappier than Froyo's UI.
- It's easier for developers to optimize apps for iPhones than for Android phones, because there's just so many varieties of Android hardware to test against.
- iPhones can connect to enterprise wifi networks, Android can't without installing 3rd-party apps(i seriously can't believe this)
- Malaysia has access to the Apple App store, not to the Android App market.

My point is there's no single Android phone that can outright pwn the iPhone 4 for now. Looking forward to the future smile.gif

its not like iPhone 4 doesn't have its own problem laugh.gif

small screen, easy to break glass body, not to mention the (over exaggerated) reception problem,

and that's already the best phone coming from Apple.

as for OS, iPhone 3G is forced to be updated with the latest iOS, causing unnecessary lag, and I mean real lag,
I don't know if its Apple way of forcing people to upgrade or what =/

on the other hand, Android improved in terms of speed with the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread,
even with the incomplete Gingerbread ROM that I'm using now on Desire, its already smooth as butter.
