It’s appropriately (and hilariously) named the “Aphone.” Running Android 1.5, the Aphone features a 2-megapixel camera, a scroll wheel replacing the iPhone’s Home button, and a...

By Rene Ritchie Lastly, the DROID has a physical keyboard and a virtual keyboard. The iPhone only has a virtual keyboard. Early reviews suggest the DROID physical keyboard is a little flat, a little hard to differentiate one key from another, and a little off-center to accommodate the 5-way control. In oth...

By matt buchanan If you're on a Mac, it's easy to keep your Contacts synced—just tell Address Book to sync with Google. On Windows, you'll need a third-party app, like GO contact. That way, you can manage your contacts on your desktop, and have a local copy that's always synced up with what Google's got.

By Dylan F. Tweney In terms of interface and features, the Droid is the first phone that’s truly comparable to the iPhone in terms of power and ease of use. There are interface differences, but for the most part they’re not better or worse, just different.

By Damon Lavrinc In addition to offering code-reading and clearing features, along with OBD metrics for everything from coolant temp to throttle position (full features here), Rev now includes built-in metrics for lateral and forward acceleration to calculate horsepower and torque, saved vehicle...

By John C Abell The virtual keyboard appears when appropriate, landscape or portrait. And while the software keys appear to be narrower than those on the iPhone, they seem at least as easy to use. Another familiar feature is the “reality check” of a small pop-up displaying the key being pressed. And there i...

By Wilson Rothman Navigon portable navigators had just started to get good when the company closed shop in the US.

By David Winograd Filed under: iPhone, App Store, iPod touch, App Review Then came the iPhone/iPod Touch and things got considerably easier, although there is no clear demarcation of what service sells what, or where.

By Mel Martin Filed under: iPhone, App Store, iPod touch, App Review I found the interface slow to respond at times. I often had to tap a few times to change stations. Audio quality was not ultra high fidelity, but about what you'd expect from streaming radio. I listened on Sennheiser headphones.

By Michael Jones Not quite. Installing the 3.0 update will get you several of the new features, such as copy and paste, voice notes, MMS, and tethering (if your carrier supports it, anyways), but some of the features will only be available on the 3G S. Things like voice control, video editing and sharing, comp...

By Greg Kumparak Short version: The iPhone may be good at a lot of things - but one thing its definitely not known for is its good battery life.

By Rene Ritchie No, that’s not a typo. Apple clearly lists the new In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic as not iPhone compatible.

By Jason Chen Here's why we think the ClearBoost works.
