Android platform has done very impressive job so far with smartphones but only thing that it seriously lacks in comparison with iPhone is the gaming. Android supports good graphics and Froyo 2.2 coming up with full support to openGL

I still don't understand all the fuss about Apple rejecting or removing any kind of app from their store — it's their freakin' store and they can decide what they want to sell in there and what they don't…!How the hell is this any different from the guys running the convenience store down the street deciding that they don't want to sell a certain brand of cookies or soda anymore…?! mpeg4 to mp3 converter Verizon lost contract negotiations with Apple because iPhone on ATT by itself outsells all smartphone sales on Verizon. Speculation is that it outsells Verizon Android phones by 2x to 2.5x. In addition, Verizon's smartphone penetration is less than ATT smartphone penetration. Penetration as in percentage of people on the carrier with smartphones versus dumbphones.We don't know the details, but at least one thing is very true: ATT has increased subscribers at a faster rate than Verizon. And in calendar Q3, it was basically a statistic dead heat. This is after Verizon having an ~8m subscriber lead after the Alltel merger.So, what is Verizon getting? More smartphone contract sales at $70 and up. They hope it is 2 to 3 million per quarter to match or defeat ATT in subscriber growth. All told, it could be $1 billion revenue per quarter.
