This ad is good however in that it will push Apple to open up and be more competitive and make the iPhone EVEN better!

I’ve seen the competition, and although they claim to do more, the overall quality of the phone is just not the same. (ie: the HTC Android phone looks like a cheap piece of plastic).

I’ve never been a fan of Apple and seeing what my phone is actually capable of all while Apple is trying their darnest to keep it restricted has made me HATE APPLE. So if Apple can somehow create an unjailbreakable firmware for my 3GS, I of course won’t update to it, I’ll unlock my phone and put it on eBay asap.

• Physical keyboard – There are two camps. One that thinks it needs actual keys, one that doesn’t. It’s a personal choice.

• Simultaneous apps – Technically, iPhone does run a few Apple apps simultaneously. But the ad has a point. I wonder what the Droid’s battery life is like when running multiple apps though.

• 5MP camera. Nokia/Sony could make the same claim about their 8MP cameraphones vs Droid.

• Customization. Droid will be the MySpace of skinned phones I guess.

• Widgets. Because touching an app icon is so difficult?

• Open development. We’ll see how open Verizon actually is vs. what Android allows

• No flash for the camera. Fair enough.

• Interchangeable batteries. Fair. But let’s see what Droid’s battery life is before conceding the point.

I seriously doubt that any iPhone user considers the above to be faults at this stage… by now there are plenty of alternative devices, and if they haven’t switched, they still won’t.

Now maybe the Droid/Android 2.0 phone will be a great phone (which I hope, as it will continue to keep pressure on all manufacturers to up their game, including Apple), but comparing it to a iPhone isn’t much of a strategy.

I’m prepared to be proven wrong.

Bring it! Push Apple.
