We’ve been matching up popular web services, applications and mobile apps against each other in heated one-on-one battles here in our weekly Faceoff Series. Last week we saw longtime incumbent Microsoft Office beat out Google Docs in a head to head race for the title of office suite champion.

This week we turn our attention to a rather timely battle being waged on the mobile front, between Apple’s darling and wildly-selling iPhone platform and Google’s slow to boil Android mobile operating system. With the Motorola Droid launching with Android 2.0 in the U.S. to the tune of a healthy sales clip, it’s high time to do a new assessment of the state of affairs in the hottest mobile operating system match around.

Be sure to cast your vote below for your choice between these mobile heavyweights. You have until noon EST on Friday November 20th, and be sure to let us know your reasoning in the comments. We’ll recap the results later this week and begin a new round of faceoff next week.
