Of course, most Android users would object to this theory outright, but for those that need some convincing, here’s pocketnow’s list of 5 Things Android does better than the iPhone. 1. You don’t need iTunes to activate your Android Why do I need to have some bloatware application installed on my computer just to be able to use my phone? If you go to the store today and buy an iPhone, you can’t make a single call until you’ve “activated” it using iTunes – which means you have to download and install a desktop app just to make your phone work like a phone. Even Windows Mobile didn’t require you to install Active Sync! With any Android, you buy it, turn it on and configure it, and you’re done. 2. App Freedom With the iPhone, if you want to run an app you have to get it from the App Store (unless it’s jailbroken). The means every legitimate app has to be approved by Apple, and is subject to take-down at any time. With few exceptions (::cough:: AT&T ::cough::), Android phones have the ability to install and run “non-Market apps”. Just like Windows Mobile, you can grab an installer (.cab for Windows Mobile, .apk for Android), run it, and you’ve got the app, even if it was “rejected” from inclusion in the Market. 3. Alternates to built-in apps Don’t like the browser that comes with Android? No problem, you can get any one of several others from the Market. Want another SMS client? Head to the Android Market and take your pick. With Apple, if you don’t like what comes built-in, you’re out of luck. They don’t permit any app that “duplicates built-in features” – even if the app does it better. 4. Carrier Options With iPhone, if you’re a U.S. customer, you’re pretty much stuck with AT&T. Of course you can buy an unlocked iPhone and use T-Mobile with it, but you’re limited to EDGE speeds. While it’s true this may change in the future, we all live in the here and now. At present you can buy an Android phone for T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. 5. Google Voice Google Voice is the single largest threat to mobile carriers to date. With Google Voice, so long as you are connected to a network (WiFi, cellular data, etc.) text messages are free to and from your Google Voice number, and with the latest version they come through immediately. The ZDNet article picks apart how the app handles threading text messages. I, for one, have never had the “problem” they describe. Before long, I suspect Google will begin shifting over to VoIP for making and receiving calls (they haven’t announced this yet, but it’s the natural progression of the service and the app). Of course, iPhone users can’t have the Google Voice app because Apple thinks it “duplicates” the phone’s functionality. Parting Thoughts ZDNet concludes that although the iPhone some pluses over Android, at the end of the day “the Nexus One is still a better smartphone”. I can’t disagree with that at all.
