uhhh, just re-read it, and the only comparison to the iPhone is saying that the Pre and the iPhone both started with web-based apps. Oh, then it says that the Pre actually opens some of the gesture and hardware support that the iPhone didn't. (making this BETTER, by the way...)
Comparing a new touch-based smart phone to the iPhone is not only OK with me, but expected. It is the best known phone in the country, and possibly on the planet. Anyone who is shopping for a smartphone knows what an iPhone is and what it does. It's the common denominator. Maybe we should all ignore the iPhone and compare all new cell phones to a Samsung SPH-N270 from 2003. Then Engadget could get out of talking about the iPhone while simultaneously confusing the hell out of everybody.
