Android based Phones are greater than Iphones

Before going on to my own arguements, I'd like to address some arguments made by my opponent. "First off its camera. I would like to blantly say that the Incredible has a 8 mega pixel camera while the IPhone has a 5 mega pixel camera. " Yes, it is true that the iPhone 4 only has a 5 megapixel camera while the Incredible has an 8 megapixel [1][2]. However, there is a good reason for this and it's name is memory space. Frist, I would like to point out that the number of megapixels your camera is doesn't really effect the quality of the picture [4][5]. Infact, when people were presented with photos of 5, 8, and 13 megapixels, they could not tell the difference, even when the pictures were blown up to 16x24 (inches) and they were allowed to get as close as they wanted. But, one thing that the megapixels do effect, is how much space pictures (and movies) take up. An 8 megapixel photo will take up 60% more memory space than a 5 megapixel photo. And an 8 megapixel movie will take up 60% more memory than a 5 megapixel movie of the same length. All for no improvement of picture quality. So all in all, you are wasting memory space, for no observable improvement of quality. "Secondly the processor. The Incredible has a 1GHz snapdragon processor, while the IPhone is clocked at around 800MHz. " Both phones have the same speed processor [1][2], that is 1 MHz. My opponent states that iPhone is underclocked, and this is true. However, he neglects to inform the voters that the Android is ALSO UNDERCLOCKED [3]. In fact, most phones are underclocked in order to save battery life. By underclocking the processor, you can save upto 50% of the battery life. "Thirdly the application store. We have all been to the Apple's app store and we all know that there are thousands of apps that are absolutely pointless. .. " There are many pointless apps, true, but that is up to the consumer to decide. The Android version of the app store also is full of pointless apps, but that is part of a free market. Anyone can put forth their ideas and apps to see if the public wants them, and if no one does, no one is hurt by it being there (this is an obvious pander for the free marketists on this site, lol). "Forth and last thing i'm discussing in this round is value. " I would certainly hope that the Droid costs less, considering that it has less of what really matters, such as memory space, screen resolution, support staff and so on, which I will go into in my arguments. Now, for my arguments. The things that I would like to point out that my opponent seemed to have forgotten. 1) Battery Life 2) Screen resolution 3) Memory space 4) Customer service Let's begin 1) Battery life. Battery life has always been an issue with smart phones. We want them to be able to do so much (which requires a lot of energy for the device), yet we want them small enough to fit in our pockets without pulling our pants down from their weight. The iPhone 4 has about double the battery life of the Incredible [1][2]. 2) Screen resolution. The screen resolution matters with every non-phone aspect of a smart phone. From reading books, to watching videos, to playing games, to video calls, to whatever. The iPhone 4 is 960x640, while the Incredible is 800x480 [1][2] (and the iphone can do this while still having better battery life). 3) Memory space The iPhone comes base at 16 gigs, while the Incredible comes at 8 gigs. Both can go upto 32 gigs if you want to pay more for it. [1][2] 4) Customer service This is the biggie. No matter what phone you get, there will come a time when you need assistance with it and you have to call tech support. Apple has won the JD Powers award for best smart phone tech support for 5 years running now [6][7]. No other company can come close to providing such support for their smart phone products. Of course we have other things, like the iPhone 4 has better hearing aid compatability for those with hearing issues (H4/T4 vs H4/T3 for the Incredible) and other such little things. Anyway, I will pass the torch onto my opponent for their next round. Thank you [1] . http://www.verizonwireless.com... [2] . http://www.verizonwireless.com... [3] . http://www.phonearena.com...
