10 Things Android Does Better Than iPhone OS

“Since its 2008 debut, Android has grown – not only meeting all
of the functionalities of the iPhone, but besting it in nearly all
aspects. Here is our list of the top 10 things Android does better
than the iPhone.

“1: Android can Run Multiple Apps at the Same Time

“Starting with version 1.0, Android has been able to run
multiple applications at the same time regardless of whether they
are system apps or apps from the Android Marketplace. The current
version of iPhone OS does offer limited multitasking, but only
allows native applications such as Mail, iPod and Phone to run in
the background. Android users benefit greatly from this
discrepancy, as they can receive notifications, listen to music, or
even record GPS data without keeping the application open. Apple
will try to level the playing field with iPhone OS 4, granting
developers access to a small and limiting list of APIs that can run
certain services in the background, but it’s a long way from the
true multitasking that Android has.”
