> Current Hardware (Droid & Nexus One) is fast and responsive, no doubt about that. I have a variety of current generation smart phones sat on my desk. I can assure you Android is still the least responsive OS :) My personal choice is an iPhone and I dont agree. :) > Last time i checked finding iPhone dev information was rather hard due to NDA stuff Just as a point I think max was talking about getting in touch with developers at Apple, Google and Microsoft. Not just getting in touch with other developers on the platforms. (Google are people notoriously hard to get hold of at times :D So I am guessing that's what he means). Though I make no comment on if he is right or not.

Then you probably have another smartphone then i have. Just yesterday i was meeting friends (4xiPhones, 1xMilestone/Droid, 1xNexusOne) and the good nerds we were, people wanted to check out the newer Android phones. The 4 iPhone guys agreed it's on par. You probably notice responsiveness differences beyond the level a normal person recognizes :p In fact, when you say you have a variety of smartphones on your desk, i guess you are working on a daily base with different handsets and have a very keen sense for this. And as i don't have numbers to back my statement up i'd say it's a difference in those handsets 95% of users wouldn't recognize. ;)

  Well I work with them in the sense they are test beds for our phone forensics work. But in fairness I have used pretty much all of them for extended periods as my work or social phone. Still going with the iPhone as the cleanest user experience :) (but I realize opinions differ widely)

We know the N1 is not an iPhone. It is a very good phone for people who don't want iPhones, though. Maybe people really only care about superficial looks, but then I don't know why all mobile phone makers except Apple just close shop. I personally prefer the design of the N1, but that might be the geek in me. I get a sort of "eeew" feeling from most Apple products that is hard to explain, because it is too much design for me. Comparable maybe to seeing a prostitute in latex trousers and everything - yes, it looks good, but I still don't want it. But that is just my taste. The masses will decide, and the spare change in their pockets, too.

  Actually I quite like (possibly even prefer) the Android design. My issues have always been with: - responsiveness (even the latest Android phones aren't speedy enough for me) - phone - in my mind the iPhone is by far the best pure phone (and text message/email/web browser). There are little innovations and usability tweaks that make it my favourite phone. seeing a prostitute in latex trousers and everything - yes, it looks good Sounds horrid to me :s
