For all the hype, how do they really stack up in a users hands. People are raving, but 90% of the raves are from people who have yet to use a Droid.

I want the truth!

Honestly, you can't compare the two. They both do somewhat similar things, but go about them in very different ways. I like the Droid and the iPhone, it's really up to personal preference.

appleinsider has a 3-part series comparing Apple's strategy with iPhone OS and Google's Android OS (which drives the moto Droid). Reading those three, it's convinced me that Android is likely going to have a niche future, one substantially limited by its and Google's inherent disincentives to make the ecosystem into something more like the iPhone.

I think Google is going to do quite well replacing stupid Symbian and Windows Mobile but it will never be as good as the iPhone.

It probably won't need to be, though, to outpace the iPhone in the market.

As a very pleased iPhone owner, I'm all for competition keeping a fire lit under Apple's ass.
