“A month ago, I think you could have said that the differences between an iPhone 3GS running iPhone OS 3 and those of a Nexus One running the new edition of the Android OS were largely philosophical and political,” Ihnatko writes. “Today, iPhone and Android are once again two very different beasts. Declaring one to be the winner over the other is like betting on a fight between a hippo and a giant octopus. Each will have its fans and its supporters, but these are clearly two beasts with two very different ideas about how to stay on Darwin’s good side.”
Ihnatko writes, “The iPhone 4 isn’t a revolution. But damn, it’s interesting. It’s that first little turn of the focusing knob that makes the line between ‘phone’ and ‘computer’ a little tougher to make out. It seems to beg for high expectations.”
Full review – highly recommended – here.
At last, someone with some sense writing a review of the iPhone 4.
Ihnatko is the only review you need to read. Detailed to the t and really thinks about electronics the way normal people do.
Period.
Forget iPhone v.s. Android… I want to see the match between a hippo and a giant octopus!
Great review, as always from him. I’m loving my iPhone 4. Just took it to the gym with me again today and read some of a Dune novel while walking on the treadmill. Retina Display was so sweet.

I’m worried about how that giant octopus might hold an iPhone 4. All those arms all over it might stop it working entirely.
If the match is on land or in less than 4 feet of water, the hungry hippo wins big time.
If the match is in more than 10 feet of water the giant octopus wins hands down.
The 6 six feet between the two extremes is where the contestants should compete.
Andy always writes good reviews, but damn, he needs to lose that hat!
There is no phone that can even compare to the iPhone 4 !!!!! Don’t know how people without a iPhone can enjoy there toy phone,,:( but I have two, one 3GS and ios4, it’s amazing the difference in screen resolution etc, loads of fun and enjoyment, I’m a little neurotic about having two phones but I’ll keep both,
look this Apple iPhone 4 Reviews,I agree

Andy wears a hat for obvious reasons. I don’t have that particular problem.
Ihnatko, I’m dissapointed.
iPhone 4 is a revolution. Don’t try to be modest!
