Well Ron we agree on most things but the above statements are not true. Before I address each I must predict that you have never used an Android phone and so your comment about stability and user experience is without warrant. If you have been an Android user what problems did you experience? What version? Remember the first iPhone OS?

Apple or Google simply cannot approve and check the hundreds of thousands of user submitted apps. Malicious iPhone apps? You betcha:

Any paid app in Google Market has to go through an application process that includes identity of the submitter, same as a bank check, thus a trail is available in case of complaint.

A jailbroken iPhone is super vulnerable to attack if the user does not bother to change root password and a quick survey of the iPhone users here with jailbroken iPhones do not know even what Root is.

Also a much improved camera that you can shoot and high definition movies and do post production right on the phone with an iPhone version of iMovie. Oh yeah, folders to help organize your apps, the iBooks store so you can buy and read books on it (no more killing trees for your reading pleasure), and a improved mail app in iOS 4 too.

Ron next time your at OC give my X10 a try i bet you will think differently about droids after. The new iphone OS is not a true multitask OS but a false one that works as though it is real (look it up). Iphones hardware is not all that good, they did that for a simple reason, save battery life. but compared to the top of the line droid phones? it cant compare.

X10:
4" screen high resolution LED (easy to see under the sun)
snapdragon processor 1ghz speed
8.1mp camera (compared to iphones 5.0)(HD video available in 2.2)
front facing camera

dont forget Flash 10 support! that iphones will never get
