What about the Samsung Galaxy S, I would say that phone has the iPhone specs matched very well. As my current omnia HD has video calling I would be very surprised if the galaxy S does not.
Also if you can only video call over WIFI to another 4, then that is not exactly universal video calling.

It's true though, I really wanted to like the iPhone. If this upgrade was good I would have bitten oranges hands off. But after looking at both I cant see why I should chose one over the Android equivalent? (running 2.2)

I think it comes down to preference
As an apple fan, i see nothing on the Evo 4 G / Desire to tempt me away from Iphone apart from the freedom that comes with android phones to hack it about.
But its not something id use and prefer apples simplicity.
I think ultimately its a sign that neither is significantly better than the other to tempt people out of one camp into the other.

What about flash support?
Caporegime
I dont use a single website that forces you to use flash. Most sites now have an iphone specific version of the site that doesnt use flash - like iplayer.
What website could you 100 % not do without that needs flash ?

any word on mobileme some reports/rumours before the WWDC started said it was going free

NHL.COM has all the highlight videos up from last nights games (love NHL).
Also you cant access and watch videos on the bbc website for example. It just seems like Apple has had a sulk and wont incoporate flash into the device and so everyone has to make a special version for them. It would be nice to access all sites without having to worry about the site not working, or trying to find a specific version to work on my phone.

not into NHL so it doesnt bother me.

Which is why they are pushing HTML5...
They want you to load a browser, and not have to worry about plugins or separate installers (flash etc).
It's the BBCs fault that they don't put all the videos on iPlayer. It annoys me as I like to watch the F1 forum which doesn't get put up
Soldato
But that is only one example, most sites have an element of flash in them somewhere. Especially if the site includes videos.
Most being ads, which I'm pretty sure no one will complain about missing, the rest will be video which can be easily updated to make use of HTML5. And I'm pretty sure a majority of sites will start doing that.

The only place I miss flash is as you said, BBC on my ipad if i want to watch a video on the article. Apart from that i've not even really ran into any 'blue lego blocks'

sooner than you think it would seem

If you saw the details of the Keynote, Jobs said that they would be making this an 'open format', meaning that other people could develop the standard. Therefore, you should eventually be able to call other types of phones and more than likely Skype will update their iphone app to work with it. With the multi-tasking of the new os, you could possibly always have Skype on in the background.
As others have pointed out also, most people are likely to upgrade to the iPhone 4. I mean, already now, most people I know own an iPhone. The only ones who don't tend to be people who have Blackberrys through work or have a real thing against Apple and so go for the competition.
