The dirty secret is that neither one of the phone platforms in the long run will be better than the other.  In the short term one phone will only be better than the other until the deficient phone is upgraded.  The general public has spoken: iPhone is the clear winner in public opinion.  So…Why does the iPhone seem to draw a bigger response than new Droid phones?

Simply put Apple is a hype machine.  It seems relatively old school, but Apple simply hypes everything up.  CEO Steve Jobs gives hour long presentations extolling the virtues of each new device as it is released.  He describes the painstaking work that went into every little detail of the new device and then used more, and more, and more flowery speech to pump it up.

Just as the press conference room is at a fever pitch he releases them into a room where they get the opportunity to play with the devices and give their readers/viewers a first impression of the device.

Droid doesn't have a singular spokesperson, they don't have big flashy press conferences that are followed by average consumers, and they aren't a big hype machine.  It's not that Droid is an inferior phone, it is all in the presentation.

Apple presents their new devices to the world as if these devices are the very thing that the world has been longing for.  Droid phones are presented as an alternative to the iPhone if you don't want to be on the at&t network.

Show us what Droid does without mentioning iPhone.  Tell us about your developers and the apps you have in your store instead of talking about iPhone.  Only then will Droid and iPhone be in the same league for the average consumer.
