Congrats on building the best Twitter app on the Android platform, by the way. I'll keep with it.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 15:36:09 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22255508When we play the YouTube videos (same video, same UI) the ones on the Palm Pre, the HTC Touch, the iPhone are much higher resolution than the ones that play on the Droid. Yes, they are NOT "true HD" but they are very sharp and very good looking. Not on the Droid. They look like ass on the Droid.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 15:15:24 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22255207This is a major reason why I bought one. I think Apple needs competition. That's healthy for all of us. So, totally agree with you on that point.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 15:04:20 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22254886Hah, I don't like Wave so I've been ignoring that. But I think you are right on. Google is making big plays to stick its foot into enterprises. Microsoft better watch out here.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:52:21 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22254830It's not quite that simple, though. Google has a better platform-building team and approach. This is why Android has come in late into the market and already gotten more than 10,000 apps built for it (something that Microsoft, Nokia, Palm and others have failed to do, by the way). The platform eventually wins. Or at least that's been true so far. That beautiful Mac? It was cloned "enough" by Microsoft and Microsoft's superior platform approach led it to 90% marketshare. Being beautiful and usable is NOT enough!ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:50:34 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22254704That said, my new Toyota Prius has a very good GPS system, so I don't need turn-by-turn the way other people might.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:45:17 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22254689Ahh, yes, I just forgot about that. We talked about Google's Maps in the podcast. I'll add that as another good thing about Droid (turn-by-turn directions and street-level views rock on the Droid).ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:44:44 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22254154Mark: yes. That's why I feel Android is Windows 3.1. It's ugly. But you can see the future is going to be very bright. Developers ARE supporting Android in a big way. It's their second platform, I've been interviewing a ton of them.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:42:15 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22254045Another good point I should have made in my article. No, the Droid can't do simultaneous voice and data (I believe this is due to the EVDO network that Verizon uses). Good points about getting service in rural areas. I don't use a phone in rural areas very often.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:38:12 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22254003I'll switch my iPhone over to Verizon too if it goes. The network is noticeably better in Half Moon Bay. Ironic, too, because I know of a major Apple exec who lives just down the road from me.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:36:30 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22253946As to Symbian, that OS is not up to the standards of Android. But Symbian will be the market share winner for a long time (Nokia sells a ton of single-chip phones to emerging markets that don't even know what a web browser is).ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:35:33 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22253925Weird, on Facebook (the Web page, not the app) the double-click on photo thing wasn't working for some reason. Very frustrating. The zoom control did work, though.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:34:39 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22253874I don't think Android will pass iPhone unless something spectacular happens next year and I don't think it will. Everyone in China says Apple has locked up the best supply chain, so building a better device than Apple isn't in the cards. That said, I'd expect Android to grow faster percentage wise than Apple next year.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:32:38 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22253683I live in a small town with 14,000 people. Here Verizon is a LOT better than AT&T.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:25:31 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22253658These are good reasons to stay! Thanks, I was hoping I'd find more of them because I sure feel like returning this and know I need to keep it to stay up-to-date on Android.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:24:39 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22253612Ryan: wrong question. Because if market share mattered we'd all be on Nokia.ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:22:58 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/11/08/droid-palm-pre-iphone-product-comparison/#comment-22253485Oh, absolutely! Even Apple fans who would never consider switching have to love the competition. Why? It will force Apple to get better. The screen on the Droid really shows that Apple needs a push. Wow is that thing beautiful!ScobleizerSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:18:16 -0000
