I'm referring to both. Android OS is a Linux based OS. Because of that, it is far more tweakable. I have my Droid running at 1.2GHz simply by flashing new kernel slots. I don't think a jail broken Iphone can even compete with a rooted droid except for the app market. Flash has already been developed for the Droid as well.

Mac OS's are based on Unix, so it's not a big leap. The fact that you tweaked your phone is cool, but I don't think it makes it any better than an iPhone, especially since the average consumer isn't going to do that.

My friend has a DROID, I wouldn't even put it in the same category as an iPhone, since it's not even real competition. HTC Incredible, and Nexus One are far more capable phones both running Android, even if the Incredible has some hybrid software on it.

I'm sure the DROID does most if not all of what an iPhone does. I personally found the DROID to be cumbersome, and the software to need a polish. I've had an iPhone for 3 years now and the only reason I don't go to something else is that nothing seems to be matching what the iPhone creates. It's extremely easy to use, it's a good looking phone, the iPod is unmatched with other mp3 players, the app store is extensive, I don't need or want a physical keyboard, or a slider phone, or a flip phone.

I'm no fanboy, but it seems as though everyones running to catch up. Franky I'd LOVE to get something else, but hell, this things an appendage now.
