Pros and Cons of Apple iPhone vs. Google Android (specifically Sprint EVO 4G)

... I gotta ask why you didn't just link to the story you clearly copied this from? The way you wrote this is extremely confusing to read. Also, I know you gave credit by name but... you need more rigorous citation for this to not be technically plagiarism.

Sorry about that....added link to post#1

This whole battery issue is really confusing me. Do smartphones ever get good battery reviews? I have a brother in law that's switching to Android from iPhone soon because he's seen his iPhone die in less than 12 hours and my Hero goes for 24+ with me constantly using it. I know the Evo will have several apps and toys that will suck battery life, but after one gets accustomed to their phone and knows how to use it efficiently, I've no doubt you can get a full day of use out of it.

All in all I really liked the write-up though, they seemed to have done enough research to not look biased. I guess I'm just getting tired of the battery-life/true multitasking nonsense people spew, when in reality, they just aren't very experienced with Android/HTC Sense.

Smartphones suck at battery life in general. The thing that is nice about Android though is you can tweak the battery a lot. Some guy got over 60 hours of battery on his Evo.

I've been using smartphone since 2001, starting with a Treo 300, and I don't remember battery life being such a hot button topic until about two years ago. That's about the time when GPS was becoming mainstream on smartphones, and Webkit browsers made casual internet surfing more palatable. Those two trends, IMO, have had a huge impact on battery life. My old Treo 650, with no GPS and an old school browser (Blazer) had great battery life.
