Games

The iPhone has a huge lead here, and most game developers appear to be hanging back from committing to Android for the time being. The biggest exception is Gameloft, which has already published a considerable lineup of Android games including the platformer "Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles," and the first-person shooter "NOVA." Ironically, Gameloft said last fall that it was scaling back on Android development, and still refuses to sell apps through Google's embarrassingly chaotic Android Market, opting to sell through its own website instead.
While there are lots of casual games for Android, there's nowhere near the momentum of iPhone, with marquee titles like "Sims," "Mass Effect" and "Plants vs. Zombies" (at right) already being downloaded by the masses. Though one imagines that Android's explosive growth this year would spur game developers, there's mostly just a lot of vague optimism.

Social networking-

Perceptive reviewers have taken the iPhone to task for not being a very friendly social networking platform. You can set up your phone to get alerts from Facebook and Twitter sometimes through third-party apps that charge money, like Boxcar but you can't really browse your feeds in a comfortable way without diving deep into the apps. Microsoft's upcoming Windows Phone 7 is built around the idea that your feeds should be visible as soon as possible, with panels that you can assign to your friends, that will aggregate each person's updates across multiple social media services into one easy-to-find square.
Nevermind that Motorola and others have developed software for Android that's specifically geared to feeding you social updates quicker, all of the new Android phones have Facebook and Twitter widgets that let you browse your people quickly without making you launch any apps. Winner: Android[/color]
