You left out all the things you don't have on your Nexus One. An HD video camera, or any camera at all that captures at 30 fps. The Nexus One's display is lower resolution than the announced iPhone display, and some of the Nexus resolution is fake resolution from the novel pixel setup. Video calling. Guitar Hero, Netflix, and Farmville. iAd (you know that is going to be a draw for some developers). Universal copy and paste. I'm currently using a Nexus One as my primary phone, but let's please make honest comparisons.

N1 has hd video at 20fps. display is better, ok. guitar hero, netflix and farmville I would not call them innovations. farmville is a way to overcome flash of course.

  In that case my current iPhone has hd video at 1 fp5s. If it isn't at least 23.976 fps then it isn't hd video. Period.

    Let me be clear because here it seems I get a waterfall of downvotes for daring saying something against an apple product. Multitouch = innovation Apple store = innovation GPS = innovation UI thought for mobiles = innovation Apple came out first with those things. Then people catched up. This time what is the innovation? A bit more pixels on the display and the farmville client? Are you kidding me?

      Your original claim was that it was obsolete on arrival and had little to do with innovation. You also claimed that Android had feature equivalency with the newly announced iPhone but were selective about the features that are equivalent. Finally, you claimed implicitly that the feature list is what makes the phone, which is obviously untrue. That's why you're getting downvotes.

        My claim was that there is nothing innovative in the iPhone 4 compared to the N1 and that technically speaking EVO makes it look obsolete (EVO does 1280×720 @ 25 fps, front camera, hdmi output, supports SD card etc).

        for the record. 720p is 1280 x 720. As you said, the evo is 25 fps the iphone is at 30 fps, with the same resolution. This is being pedantic, and doesn't really help the argument that the iphone 4 is better, but, at least one of your points is invalid.

        The EVO and all other Android devices hav stingy minimal built-in storage (originally 256mb, now 512mb since the OS didn't fit anymore). They all have SD card slots, but they need an SD card inserted at all times to not break apps. They've all moved the slots to underneath the battery and given up the pretense of it really being removable storage.

      You think the iPhone was the first phone with GPS...?

3g video calling apps have been out for a little while for the Android platform (a coupla months). Most of the new apps have flash origins and are just trying to figure out ways around the artificial restriction. HD video is "neat", 5MP camera on a phone is so last year though. I'm actually more interested in the display than in the rest of the phone. It seems like a nice piece of tech. It's definitely a better sounding display than I've seen elsewhere.
