From my brand new droid eris on Verizon.

I’m just testing to see if it works. It is truly an amazing device. Sometimes I wish that the games were better but then it isn’t a gaming device – it’s a phone. However, my mother has an ipod touch and the games on there are much better. Those same games are available for the iPhone. We will have to wait and see if Android developers will rise to the level of iPhone developers.

I do have to say kudos to Glu Mobile for their game Bonsai Blast. I have played Zuma in the past and never got into it but wow Bonsai Blast is fun! I’m not sure if it is because of the touch screen or because of the special balls and the walls or because I’m playing it on my phone. My favorite part of the game is it is free! I can’t believe the whole game is free. I expected it to be just a demo but nope it’s the whole thing.

In conclusion, Android is a wonderful platform and I would recommend it to my own family members. The iPhone, however, is still better due to the apps. So if you had a choice I would recommend them in this order:

1. IPhone

2. HTC Android phone with HTC sense

3. Non-HTC Android phone

4. Blackberry or Windows mobile

Above I mentioned HTC sense. What is that? Well it takes your twitter, Facebook, and Flickr information, contacts, pictures, etc. And incorporates it into your contact list. HTC also adds quite a few awesome widgets (mini-apps you can put on your home screen) and takes a lot of the standard Android apps and makes them much prettier. They also re-did the keyboard so now it is almost as good as the iPhone’s.

Well thanks for reading. Please share your thoughts below.
