>>4 You guys must be really pathetic with technology.
The only androids I've broken were of my own free will to do so, and it took a lot of work to smash them.
My battery life has never been an issue, even with 4 overclocked processors.
My internal and SD card storage are almost completely maxed out, I have two launchers, and several apps are open actively, and no performance or battery issue has ever come up. In the slightest.
The trend is also turning around for the apps, in that anything that is updated on iOS is released 6 months earlier as a beta app on Android. They get just as much, if not more attention, and there are a hell of a lot of alternate app stores with different apps for download.
A friend of mine has literally broken every iPhone he's owned. If it didn't break physically, he did something screwy to the software. That's without hacking it.
My androids have all been hacked with no issues until I decided to rip them open and use their processors for art.
The only problem you face with android is the fact that you don't know how to use a computer properly, and you need training wheels on your phone so you don't break it. It's not a problem of the device, it's a problem of your skill in using it.
It's not that I'm an Android fanboy. They have their fair share of issues that I could bitch about all day. I'm just an antiPhone fanboy, and I'd rather compare what the OSes do well. In iPhones case: nothing.
