Only hearing Apple iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy Captivate put together in the same sentence, one would most likely choose, or prefer the iPhone. However, no matter who you are, you should take a minute and compare the 2 of them to see if your choice is a fashion choice or one with a deeper understanding of the 2 devices. You have to know the specs for both in order to be able to choose, so stick around.
You might like the Apple's iPhone display more, but there are many out here who like the Samsung's more. The iPhone has a 3.5 inch LED backlit IPS TFT, capacitive touchscreen while the Samsung has a 4 inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display. While the type might not be important for other people, size is. The screens have different features, but the Captivate has one more than the iPhone.
You should know that both phones use the same networks for communication, and the main camera has 5 MP on both devices. The difference lies in the fact that there is no secondary camera for the Captivate, which gives an extra point to the iPhone.
Maybe for you the internal storage is not important, but the iPhone can have either 16 GB or 32 GB storage, while the Galaxy Captivate can only have 16 GB of storage, plus a 32 GB microSD: you decide which is better.
The operating systems can't really be compared, but you get the iOS 4 on the iPhone and Android 2.1 on the Captivate. You can update both of them, even if the process might be complicated. Both devices use the same processor and have the same system memory size (512 MB), but use a different chipset.
If you check out the spec sheet for both phones, you will see that there are more features and functions pre-installed on the Captivate, but some of them can be installed on the iPhone, from the iTunes App store.
