Humbug. Apple is the new Microsoft.
What does that make MicroSoft then?

Suck being the operative word.  They drain so quickly under full usage that they nearly turn inside out...

To be fair, If you just use the iPhone as a phone it has great battery life... It's when you start surfing the net, playing games and watching movies, that's when it really sucks the battery... And the situation is identical on the NexusONE (the only android phone I have regular access to)... All smart phones are at the mercy of battery physics.

Just installed the iOS 4 Gold master, apple might have been late to the party with multitasking and folders (two things I've complained about since OS 2)... But they are the best dressed ;)

In all seriousness, the new os has pretty much fixed any gripes I had with it... Time to look for other things that annoy me :)

The iOS springboard while really simple and usable is looking REALLY dated now.

Currently, I'd say Palm's webOS UI is the "best dressed".  Unfortunately with the purchase of Palm by HP we may never see more advanced mobile devices using it (but it will probably be used on printers, yay :().
Totally agree, springboard was looking VERY dated but the iOS4 manages to freshen the whole interface while still keeping the simplicity that I have grown fond of (I do find the android a bit fiddly).
