5. What is Android? Android is a software platform and operating system for mobile devices, based on the Linux operating system, developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance. It allows developers to write managed code in a Java-like language that utilizes Google-developed Java libraries, but does not support programs developed in native code. Android has been criticized for not being all open-source software despite what was announced by Google. Parts of the SDK are proprietary and closed source and some believe this is so that Google can control the platform. Google will continue to make money from online advertising, but now seeks to extend this onto mobile devices.

12. Fast just got faster A 1 GHz processor paired with 16GB of internal memory makes Nexus S one of the fastest phones on the market. Menus open faster, tabs are more responsive, and web pages load quicker with virtually no lag time. Switch between apps effortlessly with true multitasking on Android. Nexus S has a dedicated Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Playing mobile games, browsing the web, and watching videos are fast, fluid, and smooth. It's like having a pocket-sized multimedia and game console.

13. Brilliant 4” Contour Display Nexus S is the first smartphone to launch with a Contour Display. The curved glass screen fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face. A brighter screen with higher contrast means colors are incredibly vibrant, text is crisp at any size, and luminance is up to 1.5x higher than conventional LCD displays.

14. Never get lost again Explore the world in 3D from the palm of your hand using Google Maps 5.0 with Navigation (Beta), Places, and Latitude. Zoom, tilt, and rotate the map with two fingers to explore cities in 3D. Orient yourself with compass mode, which automatically rotates the map to the direction you’re facing. Keep viewing the maps you use the most, even if you lose your connection. Find local spots like restaurants and ATMs using Places. Then, use Navigation for free turn-by-turn GPS voice guidance with offline rerouting.

15. Android is appealing to developers Android apps can be developed on any platform (Windows XP and Vista, Linux, and Mac OS X) where iPhone apps can only be developed on a fairly new Mac. iPhone apps require developers to learn Objective-C. But Android is Java which all mobile app developers are familiar with. Anyone can develop and launch an Android app whereas Apple has strict control of their App Store.

16. Android is feature rich Android can support the same hardware as the iPhone: touchscreen, accelerometer, GPS, Wi-Fi, SMS & still camera; Bluetooth Android has some fresh ideas like Google Maps "street view" and customizable home page The Android platform is open source and extensible by the developer community where as the iPhone is controlled by Apple.

18. Engineered Glass All the breakthrough technology in iPhone 4 is situated between two glossy panels of aluminosilicate glass — the same type of glass used in the windshields of helicopters and high-speed trains. Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, the glass is ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever. It’s also recyclable

19. Retina Display The 960-by-640 backlit LCD display boasts a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution phone screen ever. To achieve this, Apple engineers developed pixels so small — a mere 78 micrometers across — that the human eye can’t distinguish individual pixels. That makes text remarkably sharp and graphics incredibly vivid. IPS technology also provides excellent color and contrast from almost any viewing angle.

20. Stainless Steel Band Created from our own alloy, then forged to be five times stronger than standard steel, the CNC-machined band is the mounting point for all the components of iPhone 4. The band provides impressive structural rigidity and allows for its incredibly thin, refined design. It also functions as both iPhone 4 antennas.

21. Apple A4 chip Apple engineers developed the A4 chip to be remarkably powerful yet energy efficient. With it, iPhone 4 can easily perform complex jobs such as multitasking, editing video, and placing FaceTime calls. All while maximizing battery life.

22. Gyro + Accelerometer iPhone 4 includes a built-in three-axis gyroscope. When paired with the accelerometer, it makes iPhone 4 capable of advanced motion sensing such as user acceleration, full 3D attitude, and rotation rate. Translation: More motion gestures and greater precision for an even better gaming experience.

23. Camera AND LED The iPhone 4 camera shoots gorgeous 5- megapixel photos and stunning HD video. And with its advanced backside illumination sensor, it captures beautiful images even in low-light settings. The built-in LED flash does double duty. When you’re taking pictures, it works as a flash. When you’re shooting video it can stay on to light up the scene. And on the front of iPhone 4, the built-in camera is perfect for making FaceTime calls and shooting self-portraits.

24. Size and weight Height: 4.5 inches (115.2 mm) Width: 2.31 inches (58.6 mm) Depth: 0.37 inch (9.3 mm) Weight: 4.8 ounces (137 grams)

29. Face Time People have been dreaming about video calling for decades. iPhone 4 makes it a reality. With just a tap, you can wave hello to your kids, share a smile from across the globe, or watch your best friend laugh at your stories — iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 or to the new iPod touch over Wi-Fi. And it works right out of the box. No other phone makes staying in touch this much fun.

30. HD Video Recording iPhone 4 users will be able to shoot movies in high definition HD (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio. Apple has also announced a new iPhone app called iMovie for iPhone to enable iPhone 4 users to shoot, edit and share videos.

31. Improved Camera iPhone 4 comes with a 5-megapixel camera as compared to iPhone 3GS 3.2 megapixel camera. But more importantly iPhone 4 camera comes with built-in LED flash. So you’ll be able to finally take low light photos with iPhone 4.

32. Who will be the Winner? The iPhone, as a phone is probably the best right now but that should change quicker than you can and here's 10 good reasons why we think Android, as a platform, will displace Apple's iPhone by the end of 2010.

33. Conversation between Iphone and Android Phone

34. Reason 1: Google to have more marketing clout Like Microsoft with Windows, Google will almost certainly depend on phone manufacturers and mobile phone networks to evangelise the Android platform. This will not only give Google a head start compared to Apple but it also means that Google will be able to dedicate more financial and human resources to developing applications and improving the backend.

35. Reason 2:Android will have more Hardware Variety Although Android is currently marketed as a Handse t solution, nothing will prevent Google from thinking outside the box and planning for other non‐handset devices. Just like Linux and Windows CE, Android has the opportunity to spread its wings across areas as varied as, Game Consoles, Net books, computers...

36. Reason 3: There will be an Android Priced for Everyone Because Google gives manufacturers freedom to design, one can expect Android to appear on ch eap and expensive smartphones to cater for all budgets. Google will not charge a penny for the license and will allow extreme customizations as well. As for the iPhone, unless Apple makes a major concession on price ‐ which is highly unlikely ‐ its phone will still remain an object of lust.

37. Reason 4: Developers will love Android Google allows industry players to add proprietary functionality to their products without having to contribute anything back to the platform since Android uses Apache license ‐ which doesn't have a copy left clause ‐ rather than GPL. Google has also pledged to build a marketplace for developer based on Apple's model. Unlike the Apps store though, this one will be an open content distribution system and will give allthe revenu es to the developers. In contrast, Apple keeps 30 percent of all revenues for itself.

38. Reason 4: Developers will love Android Google is also planning on using community based moderation to weed out suspicious software rather than Apple often controversial judgmental system. It has removed Podcaster from the App store without any reasons.

39. Reason 5: Android is Build for the Net Because Google is behind Android, you can expect the platform to have internet access at its core and while Apple pushes the iPhone as a "Jack of all trade" that does phoning on the side Google partners will flog their Android smartphones as the mobile internet devices. Make no mistake, the fact that the HTC Dream G1 smartphone has a keyboard and a touch screen clearly points in that direction.

40. Reason 6: No reliance on related product segments Apple has to care about the iPhone not killing the iPod touch altogether and has to make sure that iT unes is properly tied in; plus there’s the Mac Book and the rest of the iPod range. Google does not have any hardware products to care about. Whether Android ends up in a phone, lapto p, desktop, media server, a MP3 player or as a platform for a multimedia marketplace, Google shouldn't really care as long as the devices have access to the internet and Google's products are displayed.

41. Conclusion Google do cool products but up to now have not made money from their activities. The iPhone OS, while not originally targeted at businesses has developed into a rival to the Blackberry in that segment. It seems that Android is much more targeted at the mass market Android is an ongoing development, the T-Mobile G-1 is the first of many mobile phones that will be using the Android OS. One needs to reserve judgement for a while as to the success or not of Android.
