The Apple iPhone redefined a mobile device, bring real HTML, e-mail, and apps to smartphones. But after 18 months, the iPhone faces its first real competitors, which will begin shipping in late October. Apple's issues with its 2.0 software update, developer complaints over its highly controlled environment, and so-so enterprise support all give the competition an opening. InfoWorld assesses their relative merits, based on what we know today. Note that all support 3G networks, touch interfaces, accelerometers, and location detection services. Will the newcomers really deliver on their promises? We'll find out as they ship. Check back for our hands-on reviews.
