Android 2.2 aka Froyo is out already and we can expect the same to hit the HTC Incredible sometime in the future. But keeping aside the software aspect, here is how the iPhone 4 stands against the HTC Droid Incredible. Verizon did superb with the original Motorola Droid (also known as Milestone) and it still happens to be the best selling Android device out there. Minus the physical keyboard and add HTC to the mix and we get the Droid Incredible. This one turned out to be a popular alternative to the 3GS or the Miletstone, but are things changing with the new iPhone 4th generation? The Incredible brings in a lot of additional things like a FM radio, 8MP camera and support for Adobe Flash. On UI side, HTC has its Sense UI that comes in again and it is getting better by the day. The iOS has added crucial elements like multitasking to its inventory now, but guess the Incredible might just be able to hold off for Verizon.
HTC is a fierce competitor for Apple and perhaps the biggest manufacturer of Windows Mobile and Android. The heat between HTC and Apple has been such that suit and counter suits have been filed wrt to patent disputes between the two companies. If there is something that steals the show from Cupertino, its Android powered HTC devices out there. With the latest Froyo build and superior hardware specs, the fight goes close enough. Does the App Store make a difference is perhaps a question to ask. Guess we will wait for a hands-on before passing a judgment on this!
