I decided to take a gander at some of the apple forums to see what everyone thinks about the new phone and did a quick search for "android". I was really surprised about how many people were praising the android OS.
As soon as 3 fanboys would chime in on a thread about how much better the iphone os is and how sloppy and slow the android os is, an iphone user with some knowledge would come right back and ask if they really knew anything about android.
All the fanboys had the same response "I played with one for a couple of minutes in a store" Thats when the people with knowledge would explain it takes a little more than a couple of minutes in a store to truly appreciate android how we've been using actual multi-tasking. They go on to explain how useful widgets are compared to their apps and all the usual stuff that we all know about.
Half of the kool-aid kids were comparing the 3gs to the cliq when making their comparisons and basing android on that phone.
Overall though, I was pleasantly surprised how many of them were defending and trying to explain android to the rest of the popped collar crowd.
