4 Minute Roundup: iPhone 4 vs. Android Phones

by Mark Glaser, June 11, 2010

Tagged: 4g, at&t, cnet, droid, htc evo, iphone, iphone 4, nicole lee, sprint

In this week's 4MR podcast I consider the new iPhone 4 announced by Apple, with a sleeker design, longer battery life, "retina display" and a front-facing camera for video calls. How will the iPhone stack up against popular Android phones such as the new 4G HTC Evo and the Motorola Droid? I talked with CNET associate editor Nicole Lee to discuss the pros and cons of the new iPhone.
