Android advantage #11 - You aren’t forced to buy a phone with a tiny 3.5” screen and sub standard 5 megapixel camera to get Android, as you are if you want iOS. :)
The fact that Android is avaiable on devices of many different shapes, sizes and configurations, rather than whatever Steve Jobs TELLS YOU you need, is a huge advantage of Android.
The newest batch Android Phones have jumped way ahead of the iPhone 4 in terms of technical specs. The 3.5” screen looks tiny next to the 4.3” screens out there, not to mention the 4.5” screen on the Infuse. Most of the new androids have 8 megapixel cameras and many have dual core processors. Apple has some serious catching up to do with the iPhone 5.
I expect the trend to continue as Apple is forced to compete with 3 major players making Androids (HTC, Motorola and Samsung) and others like Sony Ericsson and LG trying to get into the game.
IMHO, if Apple wants to hold onto its market share, either new versions of iOS will need to blow away Android, and do things Android can’t come close too (unlikely IMO) or it will need to start producing a much wider variety of handsets. I don’t think Apple can afford to stick with the one size fits all approach any longer.
Do you KNOW what advantage to more magapixel there is in a phone camera? All you get is the ability to print a larger picture! What you LOSE is the ability to take a picture in lower light. There is MUCH MORE advantage to having glass lenses like you do in the iPhone than the plastic lenses that the Android phones have. . . And the superior light gathering ability of the 5megapixel CCD over the 8 is demonstrable..
As to screen size, the lather the screen, the larger the phone and heavier weight... there's a point of diminishing returns. And speed? Fast enough does the job.
