. It doesn’t make sense, either, because other Android phones support multitouch (pinching to make things zoom in and out). If you really can’t use multitouch you MUST provide a better UI to zoom in. Last night I was at the Ritz with my Droid and tried to show some people some photos of Mavericks. I could not figure out how to zoom in. Later I found that the zoom control was hidden in the corner. Nice way to make me feel stupid. iPhone never had this problem.

In Verizon you could barely even tell that this was a huge product launch weekend. One dinky little sign. Now compare how Apple does the full-court press on its new products. Everyone is wearing T-shirts. There’s tons of signage. There’s tons of excitement. Our salesguy was excited but he was still carrying his old Blackberry. That spoke volumes to me that Verizon really isn’t behind the Droid. It’s just another phone in a long list of phones to them.

Another reason?

The camera sucks. First of all, it’s crashed on me several times. The iPhone and Palm Pre cameras have never crashed on me. Second, the iPhone camera seems magical. You can touch the screen to tell it where to focus. Don’t care about that? Yeah, the Droid has a flash but the flash in the Palm Pre works a LOT better (we took pictures last night in near darkness to compare). The iPhone also has a much better selection of photo apps to use and manipulate your images. Since the camera is an integral part of the experience, this one will leave most people unsatisfied. I do love that the phone says “5 megapixel” right under the camera. The iPhone doesn’t (it’s only a 3, but I found the camera quality to be about the same so far, so even the extra megapixels amount to little more than talk without action).

Anyway, I could keep going. I’ll keep it at least a week and push myself to use it. The voice quality is so much better that I might just use it as my phone and keep the iPhone for other things. I’m fortunate that I can afford to do that, but if I were forced into picking one, today, I’d pick the iPhone without hesitating and I’d recommend the same to everyone.

 The television camera sucks. First of all, it ’s crashed on me several times. The iPhone and Palm Pre cameras have never crashed on me. Second, the iPhone camera seems magical. You can touch the screen to assure it where to focus. Do n’t wish about that? Yeah, the Droid has a flash but the flash in the Palm Pre works a LOT better (we take pictures last night in near dark to compare). The iPhone also has a much better excerpt of photo apps to practice and manipulate your images. Since the camera is an integral part of the experience, this one will exit most people unsatisfied. I do sleep together that the phone says “ 5 megapixel ” justly under the camera. The iPhone does n’t (it ’s entirely a 3, but I found the television camera quality to be about the same then far, so even the extra megapixels amount to little more than talk without military action). 

 Anyway, I could keep travel. I ’ll keep it at least a week and push myself to use it. The voice quality is indeed much better that I might just use it as my phone and keep the iPhone for early things. I ’m fortunate that I can afford to suffice that, but if I were forced into picking one, today, I ’d pick the iPhone without hesitating and I ’d recommend the same to everyone.
