It's a bit nutty the way people are comparing a phone and an operating system (apples to oranges) versus comparing two operating systems or two phones. Perhaps it's because the media is doing the same thing. Yes, Android operating system sales may surpass iOS4 sales, but if you compare phone vs phone, the iPhone is still outselling other phones and probably will for quite some time.
It reminds me of the retarded Windows vs Mac debate. It's Windows vs OS X, not Mac. It's Apple Mac desktops vs Dell or HP desktops. Compare hardware to hardware and software to software people. Comparing hardware to software is just an easy way to manipulate statistics.
Anyway, this whole iPhone 4 thing is just way overblown. I'm one of the left-handed people who would be most affected and even I think it's just silly. Just put a non-conductive film over the bare metal where your fingers touch the metal and boom, problem solved for ten bucks. Hell, even a piece of Scotch tape would work. Let's all move on to another non-story.
