Leave out #8 and that's a pretty solid response, WJF. Nice.

10. Relatively open platform leads to better data security, community knowledge of security.

I guess none of that appeals to me. I want a device that just works, all the time and is fairly simple. I hear Android devices attract quite a few viruses/malware.

A few years ago, iPhones were noticeably smoother.

Android has caught right up with iPhones.

Now it just comes down to a personal preference.

They both "just work."

And until a few weeks ago iPhone offered NOTHING with a screen larger than their standard 2.5 inch screen.

Everytime I play with someone's Android device, I feel lost and I think cumbersome.

Most people customize them. Easy to do.

You should mess with one fresh outta the box.

And it takes more than just "playing" with someone's customized phone to get used to it.

Most android users would be lost if they just picked up an iPhone.





P.S. I'm a Samsung Galaxy FanBoy. I'd be a Google Nexus FanBoy, but they don't offer external storage.

I also enjoy the seamless experience between my Mac and iPhone. Everything just stays synced. It's easy. And what would I do without Tweetbot???
