Q. With all these amazing Android phones, why are people still so crazy about the latest and greatest iPhone? It is not a 4G phone. You can't replace the battery on those things, so if they fail then so does the phone. You cannot do nearly as much customization as you can on Android phones. HTC phones have such amazing quality, IMHO. Do people like iPhones just because they're supposedly "trendy?"
Or are they really spectacular and I'm totally missing their Wow factor?

A. well you know apple the innovators.....
once someone passes them they panic and sue
http://www.dailytech.com/Google+ExCEO+Apple+Doesnt+Innovate+They+Sue/article22190.htm
The funny thing is that apple can�t sue for being the first touchscreen or tablet, because they weren�t,(Nokia fist touch screen, �archos� first tablet) so instead they sue for much more relevant things like, �the rounded icon corners� and �having a flat screen� or �the square shape of the phone���..
To top it all, if you�ve seen apples 2011 presentation, they blatantly copied over five "new" features that were previously on android.

1. Notification bar
2. Twitter integration
3. No need to connect to PC to sync
4. Launch apps from lock screen
5. Tabbed browsing
And not only are they copies, but apple didn�t even bother to improve, or change some of them in any way- some even have LESS features than their android counter parts, it�s basically a cheap imitation with the ever-popular iphone skin.
According to Steve jobs, these "revolutionary" new technologies that android users had since 2007 will be available on IOS5, and it would not surprise me to see some more android features from 2008 on IOS6.But the truly sad part is that due to apples marketing, in a few months, apple lovers will really think that apple invented those features and call android the copycats�yet again.

Can someone explain what the android phone is?
Q. I've recently been hearing a lot about this new top secret android phone, possibly the HTC Dream. Can someone please explain to me in simple terms what this "android" is? I really just don't seem to get it.
A. 'Android' is really just a new phone operating system (OS).
Many modern phones use "Windows Mobile" version 5 or 6. Sony Ericsson and Nokia and some Motorola and Samsungs use "Symbian".
Palm uses their own "Palm OS" but also has "Windows Mobile" devices.
Anyway, the people behind Google decided to get in on the act, and developed their own phone OS... called "Android".
Android was designed from the ground up to be very flexible for third-party programmers -- they will have good development and debugging tools and will have APIs (interface calls) that will let them access core phone features and functions.
The big plus commercially with Android was that it's free to phone manufacturers (at the moment, if you want to build and sell a Windows Mobile phone or a Symbian phone or a Palm OS phone you need to pay a license fee to Microsoft or Symbian or Palm respectively).
There's been some controversy about the Android OS recently... Google made available their latest Software Development Kit to only a few developers so there's been some disgruntled developers out there, and the competitor Symbian have just announced this week that Symbian OS will be open source (which means no more license fee for phone manufacturers to pay and makes Symbian more competitive)... and of course the flashy Apple iPhone which has its own OS has been getting a lot of attention from developers and customers.
Anyway, watch this space! Hopefully Android will still come to fruition and I'm looking forward to seeing what the first Android phones look like.
