Engadget Likes Droid Better than Nexus
http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/nexus-one-review/
Basically it comes down to the input mechanisms. A PDA phone is not complete without a keyboard. Also, they say the Nexus has awkward button placement and they miss the multitouch for gaming. Aside from that, they think its just another Android phone, nothing really special, not even the Android 2.1.

Rumor has it that Google is trying to keep good relations with Apple (probably because they love all the advertising they get with google apps for iphone). That being said, with the Pre and other devices using multi-touch, i would expect that the next big update (within 3-6 months i'd imagine) for Android will include this feature... Until then, i suppose i'll try the swipe keyboard method... Cheers. |

Re: Engadget Likes Droid Better than Nexus
First of all, Engadget and its chief monkey-boy Topolsky do nothing but give constant rim-jobs to the media darling that is CrApple. If Jesus Christ came back and said he preferred Android to the iPhone, Engadget would have something negative to say about Jesus. Turn to Engadget for the pics and the announcements -- give absolutely no credence or attention to their reviews. They are biased, prejudiced and one-sided.
I guarantee you they have already typed up their smash-mouth review of Windows Mobile 7, but were kind enough to leave some blanks to be filled in 10 months from now. Gee, what swell guys. As for multitouch, yes, it is already on every Android phone, but Google can't legally enable it without the fear of Apple taking them to court. And people need to get over multitouch. The iPhone doesn't have multitasking and that's 10x more valuable, worthwhile and necessary. Pinch-to-zoom? Uh, I can double-tap, thank you. Only have one app open at a time? Uh, no way. I'll take Android any day of the week. Wait until Apple announces the 4G this summer. I'll bet they increase the memory and add a feature WM and Android have had for years. That's great. That's showing 'em. Remember when they used to make dumbphones for smart people? Flip phones and candy bars? Now they make a smart phone for dumb people, and it's called the iPhone. Enjoy. |

Re: Engadget Likes Droid Better than Nexus
am I the only one who see's a problem with wanting multi-touch for typing?
the only reason multi was 'needed' is due to the lack of fine stylus control on some devices.

Also, HTC isn't stupid, they know engadget commands a large audience.... Regardless, to say Engadget isn't extremely bias (a few editors in particular, just do some searching) puts you in a very very minority crowd. |
