You can't compare this to an iPhone because the iPhone has no features! The iPhone is a piece of jewelry or something, its certainly not used by anyone that uses their phone for mail or iming or anything other than calling. No, this phone can only be compared to a laptop computer (hiptop) and when you bring up the iPhone you just show that you don't know what you're talking about.

Just in case you're wondering what to avoid purchasing if you need to do a lot of close-up shots. Two cameras used: In the first half of the video, a Kodak Zi6 and in the second half, a Flip Mino.

I should clarify. In summary: I'm sold on the software. I think the hardware is lame. I hope it spreads, and spreads quickly. After my first sentence, you may thing I’m not sold on Android.

The hardware is very vanilla. Why they didn't cram this into a Touch Pro body is beyond me. The software, while somewhat pretty, doesn't seem to offer anything radically new. But, I realize the real promise here isn't in pretty. It's how easy it's going to be to develop for the platform. The fact that it's open is great, but they need to get this thing to spread like wildfire. There needs to be builds of this software for every model of phone, existing hardware included, that has the specs to run it. They need to blow the doors off this bitch so anyone with a Windows Mobile device can get rid of their OS and give MS, and whoever their carrier may be, the finger. This should be step one to taking the carriers out of the equation and turning our phones in mobile PCs. The more I see these clips, the less I’m sold.
