Pocketnow have a comparison of the HTC Nexus One, HTD HD2 and iPhone 3GS. In particular, it’s comparing the newly announced (but not released) Android 2.2 “Froyo“‘s webkit based web browser (do we call this mobile Chrome?) with the Mobile Safari on the iPhone 3GS. Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the three running different hardware, so how is it a software comparison? If it’s a comparison of software, perhaps a jailbroken iPhone running Android 2.2 would be a better comparison. Perhaps we’ll see what the A4-based next gen iPhone brings to the table in roughly eleven days time at WWDC. If it’s a platform comparison, well then well done reviewers, you’re comparing the Nexus One released Jan 5 2010 running pre-release Android software with the iPhone 3Gs released June 19 2009 running production software (ie not iPhone OS 4. Stay tuned for when I release my comparison of a cat with a leopard… Headslap!
