I fear I am "one of those people." On my desk sits a MacBook Pro. i've got my iPad propped up next to it, streaming Battlestar Galactica. My iPhone 4 is charging.

And add to that now, my new Android phone.

Well, it's new to me. Kin got the phone at Google I/O last spring, and it's sat inactive, unused since then.

But there's nothing like a trip to San Francisco to remind you that AT&T service is unacceptable if you rely, as I do, on your smartphone to actually work.

I can justify the second phone -- and a separate platform -- as a work expense, I guess. After all, it's good to be able to actually look at an Android app if I've got to write news about releases and updates.

In addition to, ya know, actually having phone service, I am most excited to have access to the Android App Inventor, and I hope to write up some thoughts on my first stab at app development.

But until then, my first impressions:

• The iPhone is a beautiful piece of equipment. I prefer its look and feel and weight. But admittedly, I have a Motorola Android with a slide-out keyboard that I'll never use, for which the Droid lose aesthetic points.
• I was able to find the apps I wanted on the Android, and they work just as well, if not better than those on the iPhone
• Now that I have Google Goggles on my iPhone, I'm not so blown away by the difference with the Google Apps on the iPhone and Android. Am I missing something?
• I like the way notifications work on the Android. (Also, I like how it says "DROID," something I'm sure I'll tire of soon. But for now, it's awesome.)
• The iPhone 4 has a great camera. Even better, it has Instagram.
• The Android battery isn't as good as the iPhone's. It's not about "Flash," as I haven't downloaded Flash on the Android yet (I mean, why would I?!)
• I appreciate being able to see "under the hood" with the Android.
