10 Differences Between iPhone and Android

1. Range
All iPhones 4 are identical to each other.
Android has lots ofvariety.
2. Proprietary
The iPhone is as proprietary as Apple.
Android is far more open. If there's an Android application out there, even if it's not in Google's official Android Market, you can download, install, and run it.
3. Security
iPhone's tightly controlled applications seem to be the safest bet for people who want a secure phones.
As many as one in five Android applications have security holes. Not good.
4. Carriers Choice
Many iPhone users hate, being forced to use AT&T.
Android phone users already have lots of choices.
5. Battery Life
iPhones have had better battery life. That's the good news. The bad news is that you can't replace the battery yourself.
When it comes to battery life, it is a coin-flip between the two.
6. Design
Apple has killer design engineers whose job is to make sure you're going to love the interface and how it all works together.
If like more control over how widgets appear or what the interface looks like, in that case, Android is your better choice
7. Market Share
(Q1 ’10)
iPhone: 28%
Android: 9%
8. Gender Split
iPhone:
Male: 55%
Female: 45%
Android:
Male: 54%
Female: 46%
9. Multitasking
The iPhone OS has only ever offered true multitasking for Apple-authored apps. The SMS app will continue sending your SMS if you switch out of it. Email will continue to arrive if you switch out of the Mail app. Not so for third-party apps
Android's multitasking is desktop-style multitasking, like you are used to on your desktop. If you switch to another application, your other applications continue to run.
10. Browser
It is Safari. Apple running the Nitro JavaScript Engine
It is Froyo with Flash. Google running their V8

WHO IS TRUE TECHNICAL ARCHITECT?

A simplistic view of the role is that architects create architectures, and their responsibilities encompass all that is involved in doing so. This would include articulating the architectural vision, conceptualizing and experimenting with alternative architectural approaches, creating models and component and interface specification documents, and validating the architecture against requirements and assumptions.

If we are a product or application architect, this may mean we still write code. But the architect does not have to write just any code to show that he or she is still getting exposure to the technology and staying current with the moving frontier of "hard problems" that must be solved to make this system fly.
An architect inspires, mentors, and encourages colleagues to apply intelligently customized industry’s best practices. Educating the recipients and participants of system architecture is essential to successfully selling the chosen architectural path. Specifically the stakeholders must be able to understand, evaluate, and reason about software architecture. If an architect is the only one who can read and understand documented system architecture, then he has failed to integrate his best practices into the organizational culture.

In order to be effective, an architect must be familiar with the business domain at hand so that solutions crafted are practical and less academic. At the same time an architect must stay in touch with the rapid evolution of the field as the discipline grows towards becoming a true engineering discipline. New methodologies, practices, and vendor tools are re-defining, again and again, the responsibilities and duties of an architect. Proactive participation and involvement in the software architecture community in is a duty of every architect.

Overall, a TRUE ARCHIECT who always visualizes the complete blue print of systems and draft into presentable documents for non-technical viewers.
