I heard steve jobs once had an akward moment just to see how it feels and he lives vicariously through himself.

To be fair, the market for the iPhone (and hence the market for news ABOUT the iPhone) is simply much larger. The iPhone 3G sold 1 million phones on the first weekend. Sprint sold 150K Evos. That's an order of magnitude difference.
Subject: EVO v iPhone 4 poll
We decided we didn't have enough info to compare the two fully. We're going to wait till we've done a review of the iPhone 4, and then repost with lots more detail.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

You're misconstruing my post. The person who I quoted was asking why the iPhone launch got more press on Engadget's site than the Evo's launch. I wasn't comparing Engadget's overall Android vs. iPhone coverage.To be really fair, the real battle is not between the EVO vs iPhone (the iPhone will always win against a specific phone). The battle is a platform issue between Android and iPhone. iPhone is like your massive, slow Spanish Galleons that were chewed alive by the maneuverable, swarming English ships. Open Source is the storm that will cripple the iPhone for the Android army, and its not just EVO, its N1, Incredible, Droid, Hero, Eris, Moment...and scores to come.

I understand, but I was pointing out that a discussion of this needs to be re-framed beyond one particular phone and that its really a platform battle. [insert android phone] vs iPhone misses the overall larger issue and is not really useful for any sort of discussion.

Just got a reply to an email I sent from the editor-in-chief of Engadget in regards to the removal of the poll:
Once again, it matters because the post I was responding to was complaining about the disparity in coverage between a SPECIFIC Android phone and the iPhone4.I'm not sure how that matters....Apple is IOS4...EVO 4G is the flagship Android phone right now. All Androids surely outnumber all iPhones by now...or will shortly.
I seriously suck at photoshop too... But here's a basic one:
No...he's doing it wrong. Just shut the comments down and post an update saying that...don't completely delete the article. There was no reason that article should have been deleted based on the justification he just gave you.
Again...very shady behavior.
I voted on CNET for EVO. I dunno that I'll be flaming Engadget though. I can't get the comments to send from my work computer so I don't do much commenting there.
Well at my work we have an old version of IE so I can't even see the "send" or "post" button at all, so I can't post at all. I just posted one from my home computer using Chrome though.
I use chrome as well, for ubuntu, for windows, for basically everything. It would actually be sweet if they had chrome for iPhone, but we all know that would never EVER (ever) happen.
I havent used anything else since, unless using IE or safari to test website compatibility.
This is the most insanely huge overreaction I've ever seen.
