Let me be the sheep. Google continues to be more innovative than apple when it comes mobile os. I don't feel like expounding on what Android can really do to compare to ios. Battery life has been optimized in gingerbread. I rather be part of sheep innovation than a company who relies on sheep consumers.

App store anyone? Apple changed the game on how we publishers deliver applications to mobile devices. No app store there would be no android market. Also no app store less innovative apps. We would never see DJ apps, mobile unreal engine, netflix, comcast xfinity, and other high profile apps without the app store. The app store transformed the mobile platform. Does anyone remember cell phone games before the iPhone???

The iPhone is the best platform to develop on and you can tell by the quality of app developers and the crazy amount of people trying to develop for the iPhone. There are now full gps units, heart rate monitors, ways to check your cars service lights, and even guitar tuning application/hardware tools.

You act like the iPhone was the first phone who had an app store...

No ninjahood, but that was the Sidekick with the Download Catalog.

Cmon now is that the best you could do? Don't you find if funny that the 3 top mobile operating systems have an app store now? I don't think that was because of the sidekick....iPhone also reinvented mobile browsing, first main stream phone where you didn't need to use mobile versions to have a good experience.

why is it that apple fans think they invented EVERYTHING?

da Nokia N95 was already doings things da iphone in blueprint mode could only dream of....

Lol The N95? You really going to compare a phone that had very little mainstream success to the phones with VERY BIG mainstream success in the US like the Razr, Sidekick, iPhone, and Evo?

being first =/= doing it mainstream.

Verizon will more than likely get THE same exact phone as AT&T
All the hardware for the Bionic is confirmed and it drops 1st -2ndqrt 

Stop Assuming Apple Will give Verizon something better ...

This is Apple we are Talking about

How can you have a issue with Android when the OS is open source and you can implement into any device of your liking (Microwave), plus the port Android port in the iphone is not stable, dude will have along time to get certain things working before you can really use it.

Your main issue should be with the OEM'S who skin Android, and take a long time to update their services, feature and crap-ware into the latest their version of Android. Google has already acknowledge Android OS update so they will be slowing down updates to every year rather than every 6 months, so OEM's can spend more time updating their phones with the latest Android OS.
When i put android i meant the phones themselves (should have put that

) but either way the fragmentation with android is what i think a lot of people have a problem with. When you buy a iphone, you know that their not going to release a new one for at least another year and you'll get all your updates directly from them. Even when the next generation of the iPhone comes out, you'll still be supported. The 3G came out years ago and it still runs the latest os. With android, you buy a phone like Samsung Vibrant thats running 2.1, your told that you'll get the 2.2 update soon, & then soon never comes and your stuck with 2.1 as T-mobile & Samsung forget about your phone and move on to the next one forcing you to either upgrade or make use of what they left you with. And yes, tech savvy people may be able to upgrade their phones with custom roms but the average person isn't really going to be able to do that.

Looks like VLC's role as champion of open-source legal rights is no more -- rather than lawyer up, Apple's taken the easy way out, and simply removing the VLC media player from the App Store. Rémi Denis-Courmont -- the VideoLAN developer who originally sued to have it removed -- reports that an Apple attorney informed him that the company had complied with his takedown request, and pulled the app accordingly -- which likely puts the kibosh on other potential VLC ports as well. If you think about it, the open-source community may have just planted the first brick in a walled garden of its own.

Reason why I don't bangs with IOS, Good apps are pulled down with little to no explanation.

No reason? Lol....

One of the original developers of VLC, Rémi Denis-Courmont, angrily pointed out that incompatibilities exist between Apple’s DRM policies and the terms of the GNU General Public License under which VLC is offered. While the GNU license allows Apple to offer an iOS version of VLC, the layer of DRM it puts over the top of the application was a no-no.
I thought you Android guys were "open-source" gurus you guys but you dont know anything about GNU licensing....

edit: By the way the VLC app is now available on Cydia and is also on install0us...

Fragmentation on Android will just get worse once the "Tegra" phones come out.
