I know a few people who did that primarily on principle. They all regret it today, android just isn't anywhere close in the long run( their words not mine) I have both iPhone and android before you go all fanboy on me.

Yes you can
Really? Last time I checked on iPhone the notifications popped up once and then vanished. Is there now a notification area that tells you all the different notifications waiting for you?
The one thing that still keeps me from Android is that the iPhone, in my experience (and I have used both extensively), is a better phone. As in for actual calls and texts :) I predominately use my phone for that (calls, texts, email, internet) and apps are only a minor benefit (I use them infrequently). At some time in the next 2 or 3 years I will change to an Android handset - the OS is improving no end and once th…
The downside of android is that everyone has written said app, and it probably sucks.

All of those things can and will be signified by numbers in the upper right hand corner of the icon (e.g. a (2) in the upper right corner of Mail). The SMS will also spawn a notification, but if you don't read it it will become a number in the upper right.
Something along the lines of, "Choice only matters if your choice is one of the choices," applies. Apple wasn't offering him his choice so he bought an Android. Yet he still acknowledges that the iPhone 4 may be a better phone. His four main points are: openness, momentum, cloud, and capability. Android is definitely more open than iOS but Android's power depends on non-open software/services (Google). Android defini…
If/when the iPhone is available on Verizon,T-Mobile and Sprint (besides AT&T), Android's momentum is going to drastically slow down.
The revenue issue and Google/carrier policies that cause fragmentation (e.g. only 27.3% of Android owners could run the official Twitter app when it launched) mean that the iPhone will attract more serious developers (and therefore more good-quality apps for consumers)

I think you really need to explain that. There is simultaneously nothing wrong with boycotting BP (even though it should lead to lower gas prices for those who don't boycott, those who do boycott may sleep better at night) - and similarly nothing wrong with believing that Android has more momentum than Apple presently, so that it's worth betting on. And even with nothing wrong with either actions, I don't see the con…
Apparently BP sold the rights to their name to local gas stations, thus boycotting them really does nothing to hurt BP.

In what perspective is it superior? I have a nexus one too I really fail to see what is better about it.
Disclaimer: This is for my experience only: - Tethering. I fly frequently, so sitting in the airport with a free wifi connection is nice. - Navigation. Nav is just that much nicer than directions. - GVoice integration. I'm a big fan free texts and transcribed voicemails. - Cost. My total bill, including insurance, is $75/month, with 5 numbers of unlimited calls. I probably make 600-800 minutes worth of calls/month. I…

For me, the primary test for "better phone functionality" is how many places I can be and succesfully make/ receive calls and by that metric the iPhone has a lot of catching up to do.
