I have to say that this is nice to see .. normally the Android/Apple discussions are mired in blind fanboy-ism, but people here seem objective and reasonable. Android's lack of polish in areas and Apple lock-in to iTunes, Androids flexibility and Apple's great screen. Myself, I do like the Apple hardware, but can't accept the lock-in and control. Even if iOS it did everything I wanted, I'd probably still go with Android as I think in the long term having Apple get too powerful is bad for the internet and computing in general. I'm probably a statistical outlier though, letting my philosophical beliefs come into play when choosing a smart-phone.
