I like being able to open a shell on my phone. (Yes, I know there are some limited options to do this on an iPhone that don't involve jail breaking. They all involve emulation and have limits to their usefulness.) I like running an FTP server on my phone. When combined with wireless tethering, it's the only way to get data directly from a phone onto a government laptop. There are plenty of hackerish/security apps I use that are simply unavailable on the iPhone. Sharing data between apps is now at least possible on an iPhone, but it's still very cumbersome. I understand the need for security, but it comes at a cost to performance or usability. This is not an ideological issue. Everyone else in my family has iPhones, and I use my iPad all the time. It's just a personal choice that is driven by my use cases for a phone.
