I've noticed a pattern, that I'm calling the iPhone Asymptote Theorem. Basically, phone manufacturers are copying the iPhone experience best they can, and they're getting closer and closer to the iPhone, but they're never quite duplicating it or beating it. The second video showed the Droid loading a endgadget.com slightly slower than the iPhone. The interface, aesthetics, all seem slightly or somewhat worse than the iPhone (representative example: compare the back of the Droid to the back of the iPhone). The scrolling on the Droid seemed a bit less polished than the iPhone, and you could tell the first woman was fumbling a bit with the interface.
To put it mathematically, lim t -> inf (non_iphone_quality) = iphone
