Does iPhone 4 knows to be in controversy or does the controversy drags iPhone 4 everytime? No answer. But I must say that even the most awaited phone, when launched, crept up with numerous problems (including the antenna reception problem still in limelight.) Strange…but it happened! Still will it continue to raise demands in the market or its popularity will fall? Then, who will give a tough competition to iPhone4. May be it will be an Android powered handset.
An operating system of a phone is very important as the whole structure of a phone depends on it. The iPhone4 is built-up on iOS4 and Android 2.2 aka Froyo is also an operating system designed by Google to combat the competition with Apple. Android OS is found in handsets like HTC EVO, Nexus One and Droid . But between iOS4 and Froyo, which is better….lets find out.
