Currently...lots of android due to the S5 being in my pocket.

But in the home the iPhone 5S, and iPad R-Mini still see plenty of use.

I'm rocking with a WP phone and so far I'm very happy with it. No complaints. The Nokia hardware is top notch and the OS (8.1) has just about everything that iOS has. Pound for pound its a great OS :D

iPhone 5s at the moment, and my backup is the Nexus 5. I am waiting to see what the iPhone 6 and iOS 8 offer.

Android KitKat 4.4.2 on my S4.

My iPad got a lot of use during term time (can't fault document and app support on the thing :p), so iOS 6.something.

Android.

Moto X - current device
Samsung Galaxy SIII - backup
Samsung Galaxy SIV - sold

Now that I have stepped away from Touchwiz, it would be really hard going back to it.

Haha, thought it looked familiar.

Ironically, Chitika just posted its web advertising demographics pull for North America and we can see a correlation. iOS has slightly more than half the web traffic, Android slightly less than half and WP has 1%.

Android

But just two days ago, I got a gold iPhone 5s. Bought it from a my buddy in Honolulu as he needs money and I got it real cheap. I actually think iOS7 isn't that bad with some of the animations. But I got so used to Android that I might just go sell this 5s next week. Very content with the apps. So right now, Android 100% of the time for both smartphones and tablets.

Android most of the time because i have 2 Android tablets(Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7(back up), Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4) and 1 Windows 8 tablet Acer Iconia W700(i5 core).

I use my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 as my primarily Android Tablet and use it way more than my Windows 8 tablet i only use my Acer Iconia W700 just to edit my Youtube videos and surf the web and watch videos the rest(gaming, web, read the news, checking emails and more) i do on my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 because it is more touch based and more user friendly OS and is very portable, less heavy than my Acer Iconia W700 as it is a 11.6 inch tablet weight is 2 pounds and Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 has a 8.4 inch screen and the weight is 331g.

I have a Ipod touch with IOS 6(can upgrade to IOS 7 but i can't be bothered to) but i only really use it for just listening to music and very light web surfing.

So what leaves my gaming Windows 8 laptop = i don't really use it anymore and it is a back up for my file storage and is collecting dust, so i might just give it to my mum as she needs a new computer because her Samsung Netbook is very very buggy and slow.

It is safe to say my tablets have COMPLETLY replaced my laptop. :)

I guess i use Android 75%(Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4) and 20% Windows 8(Acer Iconia W700) and IOS only 5%(Ipod Touch) of the time but for IOS that most likely will change and go up when i buy a Ipad in the future

I am looking to buy the next gen Ipad Air 2 in the future because of IOS 8 and split screen multi window feature and hopefully comes with 2GB of RAM as well.

Mostly iOS for my iPad and iPhone 5S. I'd like to eventually move away from the iPhone and hope the G3 is the answer.

Motorola Atrix HD with Android 4.1 on it. Hope to upgrade to iPhone 6, if it appeals me. None of the previous iPhones appealed me enough to buy one.
