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.

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.

Sure, tiny screens, slower processors and photos that can barely be used for anything larger than thumbnails are ADVANTAGES, when the iPhone is saddled with them. /sarc Oh yeah, and Flash is bad too.

The Samsung Infuse is thinner and 6 grams lighter than the iPhone 4, despite having a 29% larger screen. And the Infuse is considered to be far inferior to the, soon to be released in the US, Galaxy S2 series, which is even thinner and much, much faster.

There is simply no denying that the iPhone’s hardware is no longer up to par with that of the better Android phones. It is not even close.
