The iPhone will never compete with Android.
I've used an iPhone for at least 5 minutes and I've come to the conclusion that it's a nice try but it's just not ready for prime time. I mean really - a phone without such basic usability as active wallpapers is just not a serious player. The iPhone will just never be a serious Android killer until it gets basic functionallity like active wallpapers and the long press. I have heard rumors that Apple is looking at including the long press in it's next browser - Eric Schmidt will never let that stand!
The iPhone is just not intuitive. After the simplicity of Android's window shade notifications I guess I just expect more. For example, I got into what Apple calls a web browser and couldn't find a way out. I had to actually ask someone else! The so-called "home" key is a joke. It doesn't even look like a home at all. In fact it doesn't even look like a key! I thought it was the microphone. Come on Apple get on the usability bandwagon and design a UI that's actually intuitive.
Bottom line: Until the iPhone looks and works just like Android users will pass it by. Sorry Apple it's just not an Android killer.
