Android

1. Range

All iPhones 4 are identical to each other.

Lots are variety.

2. Proprietary

The iPhone is as proprietary as Apple.

Android is far more open. If there's an Android application out there, even if it's not in Google's official Android Market, you can download, install, and run it.

3. Security

iPhone's tightly controlled applications seem to be the safest bet for people who want a secure phones.

As many as one in five Android applications have security holes. Not good.

4. Carriers Choice

Many iPhone users hate, being forced to use AT&T.

Android phone users already have lots of choices.

5. Battery Life

iPhones have had better battery life. That's the good news. The bad news is that you can't replace the battery yourself.

When it comes to battery life, it is a coin-flip between the two.

6. Design

Apple has killer design engineers whose job is to make sure you're going to love the interface and how it all works together.

If like more control over how widgets appear or what the interface looks like, in that case, Android is your better choice

9. Multitasking

The iPhone OS has only ever offered true multitasking for Apple-authored apps. The SMS app will continue sending your SMS if you switch out of it. Email will continue to arrive if you switch out of the Mail app. Not so for third-party apps

Android's multitasking is desktop-style multitasking, like you are used to on your desktop. If you switch to another application, your other applications continue to run.

10. Browser

It is Safari. Apple running the Nitro JavaScript Engine

It is Froyo with Flash. Google running their V8.
