Ok, new OS, but it is and was designed to perform on new hardware and still yet it is missing basic featureless. Well you know what, I wont b surprised if by the end of the year iPhone 5 may b out with *slight* improvements. So may be we should wait till iPhone100 comes out and may be then, just may be, we will get a fully functional and feature rich device and by the time that happens millions will be spent by consumers to by slightly updated devises.

We all knew it from the first day of AppleWWDC that iPhone 4 has flaws but look outside it's a great handset with great OS and mind you a status symbol too these days.
Apple has a winner in hand with some sweat though but nevertheless. Still no phone can bite Apple.

No need for an Iphone killer because there's not much there to kill. There's already Android, new Symbian, Windows 7 phone coming and Iphone is the one that is barely catching up. Compared to high-end Android devices it's actually outdated even before it's released.

Why do people pay so much for a mobile that does not support the best an simpiliest features,Apple better change there ideas quick or people will start leaving the iPhone alone because of the Price an Features on it,they are acting like Samsung thinking the Current Generation just buy phones on its looks not its Features,let see what happens when the N8 becomes available an the N9 meego phone announced soon

Android and Symbian should also come up with more paid / free localised applications like Apple, be it maps, guides, directories, watever...it is one reason i feel why Apple is a success....

while android is getting better.....i think google also got to realise tht ppl r loyals to brands such as apple....not loyal to OS, so they got to work closer with others like Samsung, HTC, Motorola to come up with clever campaigns like wat Apple did since the 1st ipod days....nt familiar with Android, but if an application bought with Samsung phone, can be port over to a Motorola phone....it will really be a huge plus !!!......this will get more developers creating applications that can sell on all types of android devices instead of different versions for differnt brands...

iOS 4 have a looooooooong long way left to be even comparable with Android 2.2 now.
Now some Apple fanboys might say that iOS 4 is the most user friendly OS out in the market. But i wouldn't call iOS 4 user friendly when iOS 4 miss those things listed under here.
* No Flash support in the web browser
* No true multitasking for all applications
* No quick toggles for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or 3G
* No social networking integration
* No info widgets on lockscreen or homescreen
* SMS tones are still not customizable
* No mass mark emails as read
* No proper file browser or access to the file system
* No USB mass storage mode
* No vibration feedback when touching the screen
* No Bluetooth file transfers to other mobile phones
* Contacts lack a swipe-to-delete or mass delete feature
* No SMS/MMS delivery notifications
* No smart dialing (but Spotlight is a somewhat of a substitute)
* No DivX or XviD video support and no official third-party application to play that
* The whole iPhone is too dependent on iTunes - you cannot add the same type of content (video, photos, apps) to the phone from two computers, a regular file management interface would have been much better
Here Android just blows the iOS 4 out of the water with no problems.
Other than that, i like this review because it's pretty much right.

each OS has its own + and - but still i feel over hyped things don't last for long.
Seriously now i am not fascinated by iPhone or its OS, they started from scrap and improving their own OS and not bothered about what the other OS are delivering , happy with their monopoly and lack of flexibility.
What their OS is providing is provided by few good OSs especially Android. Even this Android OS stated from scarp literally and within years they have done wonders except front video recording in most of the brands. Also they don't take a year to come up with major changes, they do it frequently.
On the whole Apple lovers will love it and others have many good choices.
Regards
