    I feel as though i have to give my 2 cents. on android. I bought a G1 near its release, And yes something things it did better then iphone, But honestly iphone OS 3.0 fixed most of that.

    The iphone is ahead right now! in two years, or a year, i will decide and move on then. But i was tired of android sucking for so long, the first year was really lame, so i wanted something good now! not something with potential.

    The gmail app i miss alot, but google sync with exchange is great. and honestly im happy now, i see myself switching back to android in the not so distant future, but right now i feel like it is still a teenager and an iphone can already go to bars. #iphone

    Tower madness (either version) is flat out one of my favorite games for the iPhone.

    I've downloaded a lot more since then, played the hell out of them, but I still go back to tower madness again and again.

    Part of it is that the maps are constantly updated and they usually have a contest each time which is kinda fun. #theweekiniphoneapps

    For all you guys suffering from crappy battery life, I recommend you get a program called APNdroid, it kills your 3g and 2g connections saving you a ton of battery life. When you want to go online just click on it and everything is back to normal. I forgot what the barcode is but it is easy to find in the market. #iphone

    The main holes I am seeing is the price. $550.00 for the Droid is my breaking point. I will be patient and wait until June when there is a discount due to my contract renewal. #iphone

    I use my iPhone primarily as a phone and app device -- no music/video/podcasts for me. I like the sound of Android, and if I hadn't just jumped on the 3GS with a new two year contract, I might consider it a little harder. #iphone

    "Your best bet is to avoid the native player that's sort of hidden and to actually use a third party app, Meridian. Or just get a Zune HD for your music and video, and you'll be much happier."

    No, sorry. That's not going to cut it. One of the deciding factors in my decision to get an iphone was that I would no longer need to carry an ipod/PMP.

    But.

    I have absolute faith in google and the dev community, and have no doubts that a very respectable PMP app will be available in the near future. If the demand for droid is strong enough, this will be a minor road bump.

    So, I'm still switching to droid. Bye apple. You were so charming at first. It seemed like the honeymoon would never end. Then I woke up. #iphone

    I just switched from my 3GS to a HTC Hero. Even with my iPhone being jailbreaked, I love the Hero so much more.

    I can use the REAL facebook website and it loads faster than the mobile one on AT&T. The internet is so fast on Sprint, the browser is better (in my honest opinion) and Android + Sense UI is amazing.

    The iPhone is a great phone but the network, Apple's policies and the glacial summer releases with small changes hold it back. The Hero is the phone I've been waiting for.

    Android is the future. Find the phone that you like best and make the switch, it's worth it. #iphone

    There actually is an easier way to browse the Market: [www.androlib.com]

    Before you get started, install the app Barcode Scanner from ZXing Team. AndroLib catalogs the entire Market, and each page has a QR barcode linking directly to the app in the Market. Use Barcode Scanner to scan the barcode on your monitor, tap "Open Browser" (it says browser, but it will take you to the Market) and you're on your way.

    It's a tiny bit out of the way, but it gives you desktop market browsing, and a friggin' cool, if slightly clunky, method for downloading. #iphone

    @matt buchanan: Bigger screen, more speed, and a real keyboard maybe? The bottleneck is the barcode scanner which, yeah, maybe I'm in the minority that finds that cool and not bothersome at all....but I'd happily take it for the desktop browsing experience.

    Let's not kid ourselves. Not even the iPhone is easier to browse the internet on than a real computer. #iphone
