PCWorld: New iPhone Software No Threat To Surging Android
If you’re weighing iPhone versus Android, consider that the ‘amazing’ ‘new’ operating system software for iPhone mainly adds features already available in Android – one reason Android is growing steadily in popularity.
“For fans of Apple’s iPhone, the unveiling of the new iPhone OS 4.0 is a big deal. It’s the first time, after all, iPhone users will be able to do basic things like multitasking, setting their own wallpapers, and placing folders on their home screens.
For the rest of the smartphone world, however, these features are old news. The truth about Apple’s iPhone 4.0 update is that — despite Steve Jobs’ tendency to describe it with words like “amazing,” “wonderful,” and “delightful” — it doesn’t offer anything substantial that Android-powered devices haven’t offered for quite some time.”
