HTC vs iPhone 4 [again!]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Its time we [Tech Up Your Life], do what every other blog/website has been doing.....

Although Steven Jobs beleives "you cannot compare the two", we thought we'd go ahead and take a stab at the two most talked about phones for the year!!

For your ease Techsters, we've undertaken these tests on October 8th 2010 at 1:15am. We hope this comparison will provide you with soem great insight into these gadgets:)

Comparing even further 
Its very difficult to compare both the HTC and the iPhone 4 nowadays because both phones have grown and have become the best they can be, after various trial and errors tests. However the major difference is the way both systems display content. Both systems use multi-panel home screens that users can customise with app shortcuts, folders, direct dialling shortcuts and web browser bookmarks, but Android takes the home screen one step further with widgets! Widgets allow users to have important information on their homscreen whereas the iPhone 4 requires users to go into that application.

Multitasking 
Whats funny is that iPhone 4 users have been crying out for multitasking ever since the release of the iPhone 3G. However Android mobile phones have allowed multitasking since day one. Nontheless this gives users the opportunity to scroll in between tasks and open applications from where they left it last. However whats ironic is that these applications don't offer true multitasking, but instead save an application's state in the background.

App Stores 
The fact that the Apple App Store has nearly five times as many apps as Android, explains why it is the better store. For starters, gamers have a simple choice, and until Android developers catch up with excellent 3D games, the iPhone is the only real choice for entertainment. The only thing we love about the Apple App Store is the ability to browse the store on our PCs and side-load apps to the phone.

However nontheless, we personally feel that we cannot come to a common consensus as to which "phone is better". Both phones function on two different levels and thus we leave the conclusion and verdict to you, the Techsters!! :)
