"AMD ended out last year by releasing basic R600/700 3D code
that allowed the rendering of open-source triangles, but not much in the
way of usable OpenGL acceleration for end-users. Just last month AMD had
then pushed out new R600/700 code that plugged into the Mesa stack and
is being used as the groundwork for the providing open-source OpenGL
acceleration on the Linux desktop with newer ATI graphics processors. In
between December and April, AMD had also released extensive
documentation covering the 3D engines on the R600 and R700 graphics
processors along with the R700 instruction set architecture. While the
open-source 3D support is still emerging for the Radeon HD 2000, 3000,
and 4000 series, AMD has released some more documentation. This time
around they have a programming guide for those developers interested in
understanding the latest ATI GPUs."

In other words, both of these devices are competing for the same crown, but each one is its own beast, with its own list of pros and cons. If you're in the market to upgrade your own handset and can't seem to choose between these two super-phones, we've got a guide to help you break down the pluses and minuses of each one in order to help you make the best decision for your needs...
