My business runs some i-specific apps because it was easier to get through licensing and there seem to be a fair amount of Boulder hippies with i-products. That said, I have stuck with Android. I'm on my 3rd one, and each one is better than the last by leaps and bounds (not my impression of iphone development). And I can go for two years without feeling like I have a piece of crap. I currently have the Samsung GS3 and I'm 100% satisfied.

As others have said, my main reason for objecting to i-stuff is all the proprietary bullshit. I want to be able to charge it anywhere, plug it into any computer, plug it into my low-tech Pyle marine deck, etc without any hiccups or downloading i-junk onto my computer.

FWIW, my daughter used to have an iphone 3, thought it was cool for a few months until it had serious performance problems. Then she switched to Android (forget the model, but she's on AT&T) and hated it's guts even quicker, and now is back on an iphone 5 and seems pretty satisfied.
