Also, Nilay, when you said your 3GS was done after 5 hours of phone calls, that sounds about right because the 3GS is rated for 5 hours of 3G talk time... So... It's not 4.0, you just used the entire battery on phone calls. ]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/Jun 11th 2010 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/Jun 11th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/

I thought its been well know that AT&T Drops a lot of calls because iphone was the first phone to disconnect its data connection when not in use to save battery, and apparently establishing that connection is very intensive on a network. Older phones just left that connection live for long periods of time as they didn't have the battery concerns (moto razr). Just think every time your iphone drops a call its cause 3 other iphones are launching safari or google maps.

Android phones come with that always on data connection enabled for the reason that carriers would prefer that and hope the majority of their users don't ever find that setting and realize how much battery life it saves you.]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/Jun 11th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/Jun 11th 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/Jun 11th 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/Jun 11th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/
However, although while it *could* mean more on the screen, it likely will not. As the screen is 3.5", and apples attention to detail, smaller icons/fonts would make things harder to read on the small 3.5" screen.

Thus the screen size is the major bottleneck in 'screen real-estate' with the iphone4.]]>Jun 11th 2010 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/engadget-podcast-200-06-11-2010/

Hi Josh

It's not so much I "hate" Apple, their products just are not for me. Yes I can be an Android fanboy, but let's be clear: I'm also the Air Force One that flamed Google all week on their support board and finally got them to respond about the Froyo official release delay. I'm not blindly loyal to Android, nor do I have blind hate for Apple. I freely admit, that had it not been for Apple, none of us would have nearly the cool smartphones that we do currently. I commend them for that and acknowledge that they are industry leaders and innovators.

BUT, if you're not an Apple owner, but love Engadget, it can get tedious here sometimes, and it's only natural that opinions will begin to be posted. Maybe I should try and control it some: I will give it a try, and try and be more fair.

Just for the record: I listen to all of Engadget's podcasts. I really enjoy them. I was just genuinely disappointed to see so much Apple stuff in the directory list. It meant I wouldn't hear you guys discuss Android as much as I would like. So yeah, I was a little bummed. I'll get over it.

I'll listen to the podcast now just to try and be open-minded. :)
