Perspectives: Ars community compares iPhone and Android G1
Both Apple's iPhone and Google's Android G1 have been out for a while now. We've given you our own takes on each of the devices and how they stack up in an increasingly-competitive marketplace. But we're not the only ones with some strong opinions.
Our great community members in the Mobile Computing Outpust have been pooling their collective thoughts on the devices, and so we thought now would be a good time to bring back Perspectives. In Perspectives, we let the forum community do the talking to see how our knowledgeable readers are responding to today's tech. Let's take a look at what our community members had to say about the iPhone and the G1.
As would be expected, the forums had quite a bit of praise to offer Apple's iPhone. Forum goer Akatombo broke down the positives clearly. "The iPhone is the better consumer product of the two. Better battery life, better usability design, tighter integrated functionality, and intuitive user interface," he said. "The app store is nice and convenient, but doesn't allow for core improvements or modifications by the end user. The iPhone is the clear winner in a consumer sense. It has all the polish and design that makes a great product great. It has an ecosystem developed around it, and has plenty of accessories for any purpose."

Well, as far as I’m concerned, the iPhone is WAY ahead of Android…
Having used an iPhone since day 1, there is no way I would switch to a gPhone anytime soon unless they make it much MUCH better!
