      It's just the OS but for the build quality and user experience nothing bets the iPhone.

Have to enjoy it since it is part of my job. Hahaha. Personally do not care. Many apple users have mocked me in real life since I owned Tab 1 till now (the latest one was the day before the day), still I continue using Android and will never change unless there is a better one that I like.. Hahaha

I agreed with you both have flaws and the advantages that each OS offer actually for different type of needs. I choose Android because I like the freedom and all the tweaking ability they have. For some reason, in my case the iphone users started attacking me.

                Sure there's more activation of android devices, but there is only a handful of ios devices unlike android devices.

Oh, you neeed to cover it with something. I'm not stupid enough to pay $1000 to $1500 for a mid-ranged functioning phone. I smirk to the thought of the same buyers will be getting the 5S with NFC. What will they think of next? Finally have bluetooth to directly transfer files, or stereo audio with the HD recording? And lead on that Apple invented those?

                  Android makes such a sensible platform with all the perks and smooth operation. Some Apple users are too proud to even try out top Android based units.

                      Of course it is winning as Android is a made-in-American product. Amercian technologies best!

                              Yes, now you win but don't forget that your operating system was deployed on several mobile phone company. do you dare to make it for a specific mobile phone company then compare market segment which one is better(one to one)?

I would have to agree with you with regards to the stability part. But honestly, its a given that Android will be less stable due to the vast array of Android devices and due to its open platform. But android is stable enough for everyday use and has unlimited capabilities. I can do a whole lot more with my Android device than my Apple devices. I simply think my apple devices as "toys" as there is nothin more I can do with it other than play games and use toy-like apps. I guess the fact that Android rules the market proves this point. I hardly think price even matters. Some android devices are even more expensive (if not just as expensive) than iphones.

FAR more companies are bringing FAR more energy ( ideas, different ways of doing things )to the table... By mid 2013 the pie will be even bigger. And Android will own most of it.. ASUMING the 'Droids don't commit major guffaws. OR The Chocolate factory has proper guidance. The things possible with this much Synergy are far greater than the sum of it's already vast parts.

I have both OSes and my android phones has never lagged. I have better user experience on older top of the line phones, like my Atrix 4g and Atrix 2, than on my iPhone 4 and Iphone 4s. OK, My Atricies may not be top of the line but they are not cheap phones. I always have stability issues with my iPhones and I don't jailbreak them. The only Android phones that I owned that lagged were the Motorola Cliq and Backflip running Android 2.1.
