Some valid points, but much of the article seems very iPhone-biased. I agree that a search button is totally unnecessary, and I never use it, but I've had a use for the menu button on every screen. Keep in mind that most iPhone apps have a button bar on the bottom with items. This is just smart screen management. The back button has a few software design quirks that give it inconsistent result, but again most apps use it well. The author then assumes the higher resolution is just to show off a big number. There's a reason 300dpi is the minimum for print...the eye can detect lower resolutions (and usually higher) [1]. I find it interesting that he dismissed some Android features that "most people won't care about", citing the "average user", and then goes on to dismiss multitasking, saying: "Everybody except most 'tech pundits' knows that the iPhone's Mach kernel supports full preemptive multitasking and also knows that at any given moment there are somewhere on the order of twenty daemons and other processes running on a stock (non-jailbroken) iPhone." I don't know if that's a typo or a joke, but I don't think the "average user" cares, I think they just want to listen to Pandora while checking email. I'm not going to pick apart everything I disagree with the author about, and I'm probably as much of an Android lover as he is an iPhone lover, but I do think this article presents a fairly biased view of the two devices, even though the author claims to not be judging them "purely on what [he] was already accustomed to."
