I can barely even go through the whole day on my phone with texting, surfing the web, and calls without the battery draining like crazy so I can imagine if I added playing music and watching videos on it too. I'm all for the all-in-one, but battery life needs to be longer.
As for HTC, it just doesn't have the appeal as Apple i suppose. If I asked some random person on the street what an ipod or iphone is they would know what it is. If I asked them if they knew what HTC or HTC EVO or touch pro, they would be oblivious to what I was asking.

You have to understand, the average person on the street doesn’t give a damn about OS’s or whatever. They just want something that is easy to use and works. Its only on this site and other tech sites that make a big deal about these issues. Trust me, 99.9% of the populace out there don’t give a damn about all the inner workings of a phone.
The reason iphone got big is because it has an integrated ipod, so that’s what started the masses to jump on it and so far it’s a huge success. I personally enjoy my iphone a great deal, just a great all around phone that does everything I need it to do.
To me, the iphone 4 is not just the OS or the hardware; it’s an all around great package: slim size, quality workmanship, long lasting battery, fantastic screen, great reception, fast speed, many accessories, ipod integration, and finally the many great apps and games make it a winner for me. Even the ATT service has been much better for me in my area than Sprint and T-Mobile. To me, the pluses outweigh the minuses by a long margin.
