Agreed. I haven't held the Droid, but most video reviews of the interface reveal a need to re-click items and a delay in scrolling/reacting to touch commands. That's my impression anyway. This doesn't happen with regularity on the iPhone.
I'm not saying this is a show-stopper; Android will get there. What's amazing, however, is that we're almost 3 years past Steve Jobs' first demo of the iPhone at Macworld, January 2007. I still can't believe how well they nailed it, first time.
I own an iPhone, but I love the open nature of Android. Whatever the Droid may lack in fit and finish it is going to be more than made up for by the degree of control it places in the owner's hands.

Let's not forgot that many features were missing from the initial iPhone release, and that there were rumors of the iPhone for years (i.e. how long were they working on it pre-release?). I imagine that the internals could have been a mess too; there was no SDK for that initial release other than "Use AJAX and Safari to make Web Apps for the iPhone! Yay!".
- unalone 17y agoYeah, and a year later they had the app store, and they nailed that. That's the exact point of the guy you replied to. Apple doesn't always win feature battles, but it always wins in terms of how perfect its existing features are.
- elblanco 17y agoWell it's obvious that in the balance between look & feel and features, Apple went with the look & feel with the goal of features later. That turned out to be a good choice.
