I didn't play with too many of the features, but I did some of the following: -- Connect via Bluetooth, it synced my phonebook. -- Initiate and receive calls over bluetooth -- Stream music over bluetooth -- Control music over USB. This was cool, but I didn't do it a lot. I had more music on my iPhone, but Sync had issues with it. I think it worked well with the Nexus, but I didn't try it much. I hope that helps. No problem.

It's not listed on the Sync website as an officially supported phone, but of course it obviously works from your review. I was wondering which features work and which ones do not work.

Love the fact you can change the batteries, but I also love the fact you can't change the battery on the iPhone because I have to carry that battery like I did with my old Samsung phone. Either way, there's a plus and minus for everything!!! But like you said, this is great for the consumer. Since I started on the iPhone, I don't want to change OS, even if it's Android because everybody that went from iOS to Android or other touch OS, they all told me it was like a downgrade. Thus my fears to change and like every other Apple fanboys, I'm stuck in the Apple prison :D The Google Nexus One will arrive in South Korea some time this month, really looking forward to it.

I think the problem with too many techies are that they live in the tech bubble and get excited about all the possibilities without taking the average person into account. Here in South Korea, I would say 90% of iPhone owners don't know how to use its full capabilities. I consider myself an above average tech savvy consumer. I love what the Android offers, but I don't want to work that hard when it comes to a phone. Whereas a computer, I'm all about the open platform. You're right in the fact, it will become an Android world, as a matter of fact WSJ or Business Week or one of those publication had an article, "Is the Android the next Windows?" Sorry for the lack of knowledge of the reference :( So I have to say the reason the iPhone OS is so great is that Apple has 30 years of software writing experience and this is something I feel the Android OS will never catch up on, but then again, we'll see. And another advantage the Apple has is "the Native to the platform programming" whereas the Android lacks the "Nativeness". Forgot to mention, great blog!!! Wow, thank you for the reply!!!

I don't notice much in the way of slowdown due to multitasking; the OS handles it very well. I think the biggest is just the polish. iPhone simply moves smoother and is far more refined. Apps will occasionally crash, but they do sometimes on iPhone too. It's a bit more frequent on Android, but not a big deal. I'm anxious to see what Jobs unveils next week regarding the new iPhone, along with any extra goodies about 4.0 that have been kept under wraps (if any).

Are people that starved for an iPhone OS alternative? There are issues w/ Android, when multi-tasking, it slows the computer down because the other apps are running in the background, people don't mention the crashing issues, and how certain operations will eat up battery life. Does this mean I'm hating on the Android OS, by all means "NO", am I an iPhone OS fanboy? ALMOST, if OS 4 delivers what it promises once again the gap will widen, IMHO the iPhone OS is still the standard and I feel the Android is about 80% to 85% caught up, with iPhone OS 4.0 will that gap become 85% to 90%? We'll know at the end of the month. Why isn’t the negative ever mentioned about the Android OS? Are people that starved for an iPhone OS alternative?

That phone will be getting 2.2 in a couple of weeks, while the "better" phones like the Incredible won't get it for months because it needs to be customized to fit the system. I have no beef with Apple (the iPhone was a wonderful device for the last few years), but I likely won't get any more of their products anytime soon.
