"Laughable that the table above does not include categories for “size/weight” or “battery life”. Arguably the most important element in a strictly portable use device. I mean, if these are not the most important elements for a hand-held, then why not just put my laptop in my shoulder-bag; and I’m out the door. Multi-tasking, Flash, etc etc. I will absolutely give these up (I don’t want them) for something that goes in my hip pocket and only needs to be plugged-in when I go to bed.
Meh, doesn’t matter. These other devices will all be like the Zune in a couple years. They just don’t have the larger vision that Apple always has in front of them.
The blackberry 4.6+ does actually have some multi-touch, for copy and paste for example.

It's ridiculous to compare based on features since features don't directly translate to the "greatness" of a phone. E.g. copy/paste is shown to be available on all phones, but handling of such might be very different (i.e. existent, but being a pain in the ass to use).
