fanboy's epic "a cell phone OS can make you gay" low self esteem ::)
anyway, it really just depends what you want from a phone. Both OSes, once there is an upgrade to android 4.0, are very close.

Real App Count:
During the last three years Apple has revolutionized the app industry with the App Store, which now has more than 500,000 apps and where customers have downloaded more than 18 billion apps and continue to download more than 1 billion apps per month.
That’s ONE BILLION downloads…per month…and that’s just on the Apple IOS!
There are over 500,000 apps in the iOS App Store vs 120,000 apps in the Android Marketplace. That unofficial count of 200,000 includes ringtones, wallpapers, themes etc. Apple only counts apps.
Also, AppBrain states that over 45,000 of the 100,000 apps in the Android Marketplace are spam apps, so in reality, you are probably only talking 60,000 real apps in the Android Marketplace.
In addition, because anyone is allowed to post any rubbish to the Android Marketplace, there are innumerable "hello world' apps and buggy, poorly coded efforts clogging the Android Marketplace.
Games:
Android is still barren of Big name game titles released by all of the largest mobile game publishers:
- Gameloft – 136 games for iOS vs 12 games for Android
- Capcom Mobile – 27 games for iOS vs 4 games for Android
- EA – 74 games for iOS vs 0 for Android
- Ngmoco – 42 games for iOS vs 0 for Android
- Pangea – 24 games for iOS vs 0 for Android
- Popcap – 5 for iOS vs 0 for Android
- ID's new game Rage is only being produced for iOS
And total number of games:
iOS = 38,000 vs Android = 13,000
Malware:
Android and the Android Marketplace has suffered multiple malware outbreaks such as:
- More than 50 Android mobile banking apps in the Android Marketplace each targeted at a specific financial institution whose true purpose was phishing and identity theft.
- A wallpaper app that was downloaded 4 million times which maliciously forwarded user details to a location in China before being discovered.
- Mobile Spy and Mobile Stealth in the Android Marketplace
- SMS Message Spy Pro and SMS Message Spy Lite spyware apps also in the Marketplace
- the Geinimi botnet app that is infecting numerous Android apps on Chinese app stores and spreading around the world.
- Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.a, the Russian “Movie player” app that surreptitiously sent premium SMS texts from unsuspecting users
In contrast, despite hosting over a third of a million apps and 7 billion downloads, there have been Zero pieces of malware come through the iOS App Store. A 100% safety record. Not bad, and good reassurance for a public tired of virus-riddled PCs.

If you are an app user... get an iphone... if you don't care about such nonsense, then the droid will be fine.
Siri is a gimmick, albeit a nice one.

Of course... EVERYONE has Android on their phone. Google will let anyone run the OS who is willing to pay for it... Apple will not.
Pretty simple.
Palm used to own the smart phone market and that was only about 6 years ago.
Personally, I've used them both... I've also used the new Windows Mobile.
The iOS is much more stable than android. Simply because they are not worried about all of the different types of hardware out there. It keeps it lean and lets it operate just as fast as machines with tons of RAM even though it doesn't have 1/2 of what those phones have.
Windows Mobile is a great platform as well... I really do like it. There's not a lot of Apps there, but the usability of the phone is not even questioned. It's a really stable and well made platform.
Android has tried to be everything to everyone... It kills it.
It crashes and has more problems than the other two.
It also holds a ton of promise... The platform is very cool.
Android has another downside of being bundled with stupid apps and games you can't fucking delete unless you root the phone (like jailbreak or hack if you will).

I don't like iPhones. but to be fair. apple is one company. android phones are made from many different manufacturers.
apple as a sole company is most likely in the lead. then probably Samsung 2nd

Yes that is a fact - I'm talking about OS here... (The same can be said regarding PC vs Mac.... PC multiple company, Mac one company) - doesn't mean its automatically better because its one company?

Not if you get a Nexus device that is purely android it will not have any bloatware... same if you buy an android device (tablet or phone) not linked to a carrier...

Perhaps, but who is going to buy a nexus at full price?!
It's like 500 bucks without a contract.
-
if you have your phone flashed and rooted, you can download MIUI ROM it looks very similar to the iPhone.

Just because its a Nexus doesn't mean its not linked to a Carrier.
The current Nexus device - the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is available as a Verizon device...
Hell... the very first Google Phone the G1 was a T-Mobile Device!

Yes... I know, but that's what I'm saying... If you do not get a carrier service, you are paying full price anyway... Doesn't matter where you get it.
You can not get a Nexus for less than 500 bucks if you don't get a contract with it.

iOS = Nissan Skyline
android= Nissan Sentra

grandfathered iphone 4 ftw. Will being buying the iphone 5 in 5 or so months.

Even if you get a a Nexus under contract it will still be a Nexus... meaning Vanilla Android... meaning no bloatware and shit!

Ok... so for 400 bucks from a non-retail source I can get one for 400 bucks and when it breaks the very next day, I can go buy another one.
I see.

Someone made a dual core droid. I think it was LG. that was the only droid that had the proper size and performance that rivaled the iPhone as far as I'm concerned.
That was a great phone.
I demoed one for a couple of weeks and it was solid.
It had some weird power issue where some models would randomly shut down. If they resolved that issue that would be the droid to own as far as I can tell.

I've been an iPhone guy for 4 years. Currently have the 4s and I will pre-order the 5 ASAP.
iPhones are not perfect but if you learn how to maximize their use, they are pretty fucking awesome.

Both phones discussed are great.
The user should be asked what he wants most from his phone, whether he values customization, and what his tolerance for bugginess is.

For a few fleeting moments Tuesday morning, Apple briefly enjoyed a market cap in excess of $600 billion. Then, Wall Street took a tumble, dragging down a multitude of stocks - including APPL.
But don't fret if you blinked and missed Apple's latest milestone. If AAPL doesn't close at or above $643.53 today, it likely will soon. At this level, Apple has a market cap of $600 billion.
Apple is only the second company in the history of the world to boast of that achievement. Microsoft was first in 1999.
All told, it's been a stellar year for Apple. So far for 2012, Apple shares are up 57%. They're also up well over 90% from just twelve months ago. As recently as February 28, Apple enjoyed a market cap of a "measly" $500 billion.
Should Apple report another better-than-expected quarter of earnings later this month, AAPL's momentum will likely continue. The latest buzz on Wall Street is that Apple's market cap will top $1 trillion (or $1,000 per share) before the stock finally cools or levels off.
