Android Imo
I used to LIKE iOS but i cannot stand it, they protect their stuff so much... You have to bu yfrom them or its not fine by them. Well thats what it was like when i had one.
Galaxy s3 baby

I like iOS. iOS has lots of quality apps unlike Android.

Well, I prefer android on a whole but iOS is more fluid and the apps are often better.

Android has a large range of designs and the specifications of iPhone price bracket is often superior. Due to it being OpenSource you got AOKP (Android open kang project) meaning we get things like CyanogenMod MIUI and other smaller ROMs kernels scripts tweaks. Android can already do what a jailbreaken iOS device can straight out of the box, and rooting (allows superuser (sudo, su) commands to be executed by you on your device)
Widgets are nice for people who like to get a quick view from the home screen, and you often get more variation in android updates, a lot has changed from android1.5 cupcake on tmobileG1 where with iOS I feel like I'm still using the iPhone 2G with wallpapers a different dock and a few speed tweaks.

Having used both platforms and ecosystems pretty extensively, here are my conclusions.

(I'll be comparing the iPhone 4S with HIGH-END Android devices, because that's what it competes with in terms of pricing.)

If you're a tweaker at all, you should not even consider iOS. Jailbreaking allows for some tweaks, but stability takes a hit, as well as support, updates, battery, performance, etc. The iOS jailbreak dev community is also terribly stagnant. Android, however, has an extremely active hack and dev community that is continually making old and new phones faster, capable of running the newest OS with cutting-edge features, and support them even as years pass. My Incredible from (I believe) 3 years ago still has a very strong dev community that has allowed me to put off an upgrade. It runs Ice Cream Sandwich, gets 2 full days of battery with 3G, max brightness, overclocked, and normal usage. I could get 4 out of it if I tried. That's unheard of. Incredible stuff is happening with new phones, particularly the Galaxy Nexus.

Screens. 3.5 inch screens are a thing of the past, and it's kind of a bad idea to get one now. 4.3 inches is seen as the sweet-spot, but after using a 4.65 inch screen on the GNex, I realized that bigger is better with screens. You really do have to try one.

Android phones also have better screen quality. This video hits the nail on the head, but it does not include the HTC One X, which has hands down the best screen you can get on a phone. The GNex has a relatively inferior Pentile panel, but as he says, it's an extremely good one.

Build quality. The iPhone is built well, certainly, but it's not durable. There is a difference. It's just a fragile phone by design. I've found most Android phones to be significantly more durable and better-designed. And if you think they don't look good, think again.

Low-end Android phones can't be compared to the iPhone, because the iPhone is a high-end device in terms of pricing. Apple simply has no low-end offerings.

4G. Android phones simply have much faster network speeds. Buying a high-end phone in 2012 without 4G is a bad idea if you're sticking with it for two years!

Many phones have removable batteries and SD card support. You can add tons of storage for so little while Apple would charge you hundreds of dollars and then max out at 64 GB. Removable batteries let you be able to use your phone for so much longer if need be, just carry and extra battery when you think you'll need it and pop it in when you do! It's also a boon for ROM flashers who often need to reset their phones more forcefully. If the phone battery loses capacity over time, like all do, you can bring it back by replacing the battery, raising the resale value or making it usable again.

I could go on, and I already got carried away. If there's anything else you want to know, just tell me.

Androids screens have a better chance of not breaking when dropping unlike iphone where if you do drop it, plan on spending more money to replace it.

iOS is better but Apple are a bunch of greedy douches. I like my HTC Wildfire and its Android, just wish they would release an update for it!!!!

as previous owner of a droidx and droid x2, iPhone 4 and now i am on 4s, i like iphone4s better.....

It is more fluid, siri, more designed to fit in my hand and doesn't freeze, and has plenty of more apps...plus jail breaking it is fun

android on the other hand has more "diversity" such as screen size, processors, and additional memory.

I was Android until I got my iPhone.
There really is no turning back once you own one; the simplicity and and features they have does it for me...
