Since Mike is so desperate to find out what the Droid can't do
that the iPhone can, here's two:
Because the Droid is built for Verizon's mostly CDMA network, you
don't have simultaneous data and voice. So you can't for example
do a web search for restaurants while making dinner plans with your
caller, or find a map while also getting verbal help.
You can only install 256MB of applications on the dedicated
hardwired flash memory and can't install them on the memory card.
This is isn't a general android problem or hardware limitation, but
is an imposed "security"/anti-piracy restriction specifically on the
Droid. So this is another reason you won't have a tomtom app
with it's gigabytes of maps. The iPhone limits you to 2GB for a
single app, and the phone's entire capacity for all apps, I
believe.
It may be a good phone for its currently known limitations (and the
future ones that Verizon will inevitably impose on it), but it is
definitely
over-hyped by Google's fans (GFBs?) and Apple-haters.

Finally Tom gives us an answer.
This one of those things like not including cut/paste in the first
couple
iPhone os's that makes users wonder what is going on. From forums on
the web
this looks like moto dropped the ball on this one since the hardware
as well
as android support multitouch. Multitouch does exist in the droid
phone,
just not where most want it most I think...the web browser.
