Re: Evo= Another crippled htc device?
while the A4 chip in the iPhone 4 is superior to the Snapdragon especially in GPU aspects and battery efficiency, I think it's a little unfair to claim that the Evo is a failed HTC device etc...
You have to keep in mind that Android is Open Source and as we all love that freedom, we have to deal with the fact that at times it is not going to fully utilize the hardware to its full capability as fast as you'd like.
Apple has 1 phone to worry about, Google has A LOT. They have to port their OS to every new device with different specs than the last. It will be ironed out.
Also, to point out that there was a network wifi failure at some point during WWDC doesn't reflect on the hardware power of the iPhone. Objectively and factually, the iPhone has better hardware specs than the Evo with the exception of the camera (on a cellphone 8mp isn't better than a 5mp though), and the 4.3" size (although lower resolution and much lower PPI).
The iPhone will run videos smoother and they will look better, and games will play more smoothly as well, but the Evo is an awesome device and Android is very very fun. But yes, the A4 chip is demonstrably superior to the Snapdragon, but I would not let that sway you away from buying an Evo.
