Im well into the Apple ecosystem, i have the Macbook Air, iPhone 5, iPad, Airport Extreme and Apple TV. Everything works as it should, which is what Apple is known for and great hardware. I was curious 2 years ago and bought an Android phone and could not use it for more than a week. The phone battery was terrible, apps that i use on iOS were not existent and the overall UI was slow compared to the smoothness of iOS.
Fast forward now i picked up a Nexus 7 for $209CDN and i cannot be happier. Now in terms of tablet apps, there is no comparison, iPad apps much better than Android apps for tablets. But what the Nexus 7 allowed me to do was take a look at all the apps that are available for their phones. I downloaded all the major apps that i use on my iPhone and compared them, and honestly, there isnt much of a difference, maybe a very slight edge to iOS in terms of how nice the apps look, but even that is subjective.
One thing that i definitely love about Android Jelly Bean, is the how classy the User Interface looks. Makes iOS look very outdated and something fisher price designed, compared to Android which just looks more mature and classy. For me this is jus eye opening, because Apple is known for designing software which looks way better than the competition, but in mobile OS, i have to say Android OS is just more beautifully designed. Love how the widgets are used and the openness of the Android Market. I was able to download a torrent on my tablet and also backdoor load Flash to watch my lectures on it.
As a tablet, iPad wins hands down because of the tablet apps. But for a mobile phone, Android is closing the gap, some may say even pulled ahead of iOS.
