I always hear you guys talking about trying to prove that the G1/Android is better than the iPhone, and having friends or people you know that have iPhones.

It's never happened to me, until tonight.

A friend of a friend had an iPhone, and we got to talking, and I showed him just about every app I had that proved that my G1 was better than the iPhone, and he didn't seem phased by it at all. Not that I expected a reaction, but still.

It got me to thinking...

If you could only use ONE app to prove that your Android phone was better than the iPhone, which app would you choose? GPS Tracker seemed to be the one that got the most reaction out of him, but he still didn't seem to care! lol

Thae battery is good but what about wireless tether.

you can do that on the iphone if you jailbreak it, so it's same as root on android.

Iphone has Google Voice, and I dont think there are any apps better than the Iphone, and I do hate the iphone..its just the bump app that shares contact info by swinging your phone to another iphone, or even the photo slide app that slides a photo to another iphone by being next to it...they have some insane apps that I know G1 could never beat

The battery is soldered in place on the iPhone. When it comes time to get the battery replaced, they have to send the phone in for service. +1 for paul's idea, can't rub it in any better than that.

The iphone does not have google voice. The FCC is investagating it. Apple declined thwe app.
