[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
There are enough misinterpretations to take note on here:

First of all, Android actively kills any idling processes after saving their sessions. This happens when an app is not in the foreground: however, an app may request more time to finish what it was doing and will be allowed to continue in the background. This isn't a WinMo-type implementation where you need to keep an eye on your resources or the phone will slow down or have terrible battery life, Android takes care of all that very intelligently. And, as noted, if it kills an app that is idling, it saves all session information first, so when you relaunch it, it looks like it never closed.

As far as the folders go, Android has the option of non-native widget folders, such as "Apps Organizer" - where you can have icons for your folders, they are arranged alphabetically in the folders, can be rearranged easily, starred, customized icons, etc. Yes, this is widget functionality and not native to Android, but it's important to note it since Apple not only has no alternative, but cannot have a viable alternative with their current design.

As far as the radio goes, seeing as LTE is still in development and at best 6 months from even the possibility of deployment, the iphone 4 absolutely does not have 4G capabilities. The best it can have are HSDPA and HSPA+, which all newer 3G GSM phones have.

I don't agree that the App Store approval process wins because it's a loss for developers. Yes, 95% of apps are approved, but not everyone wants Apple to decide what is good or bad for them. I think you have a slight misunderstanding of the way permissions work on an Android phone so I'll give you a heads-up: everything is sandboxed, just like in Chrome...so what one app does can't directly affect another app unless it has specific permission or su access. The way it was explained to me was such that each app runs in its own "user instance"...so each app is basically a different user on the phone and has no access to resources or information from other apps (again, unless it's given access). Therefore, your point about malicious applications is completely invalid.

In addition, if an app crashes during the testing emulations, it gets automatically returned to the developer and not allowed onto the market. There are a couple of exceptions here and there, but I've only had crashing problems with 3 or 4 of the hundreds of apps I've downloaded and installed on AND off the market. Individual experience obviously varies, but all things considered, that's a great track record. I've also never downloaded a falsely advertised app - part of which may be due to the comments section, but still, that's 0/100s.

All things considered, a tie is high praise for the App Store, and that's the same rating I'd give it.

So NOW Apple includes AGPS and makes it out like it's a big deal? AGPS works on Android even with GPS disabled (but it's only accurate to something like 20m), and most apps that use location will use AGPS unless they need precise data. An example of this is my y5 battery saving program - it uses my AGPS location to enable and disable my WiFi radio based on the location of remembed WiFi networks. So, again, Apple is just now putting in a feature everyone else has had for months or years.

I wouldn't give any credence to any specs on the iphone's CPU until it can be properly benchmarked and put through it's paces. I've heard the 1GHz Hummingbird CPU coming out in the Galaxy S is supposed to be 2-3x faster in rendering than the Snapdragon, but I'm going to wait until I can see the results to be sure.

How to "jailbreak" an Android: menu>settings>applications>check unknown sources box. To jailbreak a phone, it must be in an app jail. Android is in no such jail.

Please, please PLEASE don't regurgitate Apple propaganda ("as good as on a fine printed book") until you've seen it yourself and confirmed it. I hate that from anyone, but especially Apple, since their technologies generally are mid-level but made out to be fantastic.

I'd also like to see actual mAh ratings on the batteries before comparing talk times, etc...since usage largely determines battery times, you need to use a true standard to compare. mAh is that standard. The iphone 4's battery comes out to around 1420 mAh - which is barely better than the n1, but not interchangeable, so it still loses.

Anyway, too lazy to wrap this post up, just wanted to correct some logical/factual errors I saw and obviously in no way mean any of this maliciously, etc, etc.
