iPhone os vs android on evo

[shaned197]

I have read a lot of articles about the upcoming Evo and android but wanted to hear others opinions.

Let us assume that iPhone comes out with identical hardware to the evo. I was wondering what software benefits android has over the iPhone 4.0 os and why it's either better or worse. What are business benefits of android over iPhone? What about 3d gaming as iPhone has an amazing plethora of games in the app store. Lastly I understand that android is open source compared to iPhones limited apps, but what does open source actually mean to a common phone user?

I ask this because I currently have an htc diamond and fought my iPhone buddies for the longest time that my phone was better. Recently I was given an iPod touch and use it over my phone every chance I get. No matter what rom I used, the iPod is better in every way possible. So with my contract ending, why the evo over the iPhone 4.0?

Note: not an apple fanboy! Just want to hear honest opinions. Thanks!!
