    For businesses it's easy to target android market because of more activated devices compared to iphone

    Android Share - 58%
    iPhone Share - 23%

    1) Closed systems vs. open systems
    The iPhone is as proprietary as Apple can possibly make it. If you like what Apple wants to give you in the iPhone, you'll never notice.
    But, if you want more than what Apple wants to offer you, you're out of luck. Take Adobe Flash, for example. Adobe would love to let you view Flash videos and play Flash games on an iPhone, but Apple will have nothing to do with Flash. Short of the Department of Justice ordering Apple to let Flash on iPhones or Adobe suing Apple into submission, the only way Flash will show up on iPhones, or iPads for that matter, will be through technical kludges.

    Android is far more open. If there's an Android application out there, even if it's not in Google's official Android Market, you can download, install, and run it.

    2) Security
    The downside of anyone being able to build Android applications is that some of them, perhaps as many as one in five Android applications, have security holes in this at this time. Not good.

    While any system can be broken, at this time the iPhone's tightly controlled applications seem to be the safest bet for people who want a secure phone. Sad isn't it? Just as we're finally leaving PC and Windows' perpetually broken security model, we're going to be facing a new generation of security problems built around the vulnerabilities that comes with mobile computing.

    3) User Control
    If you like how the iPhone and iOS handles things, life is great. And, to be perfectly fair, Apple has killer design engineers whose job is to make sure you're going to love the interface and how it all works together. But, say, you'd like more control over how widgets appear or what the interface looks like, in that case, Android is your better choice.

    4) Vendor Lock-in
    Obviously, if you want an iPhone you have to buy it from Apple at their price, whereas several vendors offer Android phones and more will be arriving shortly. But, what I'm talking about is the one thing that many iPhone users hate: being forced to use AT&T. That may be changing. As I write this, there's a Bloomberg report that Verizon will start offering the iPhone in January 2011. For many iPhone users, some choice with their wireless carriers can't come soon enough. Once again, of course, Android phone users already have lots of choices.

    5) Battery Life
    Here I see a situation where you get to pick your poison. Generally speaking, iPhones have had better battery life for me. That's the good news. The bad news is that you can't replace the battery yourself. I hate that.

    On the flip side, Android-powered hardware seems to average a couple of hours less time per charge for me. And, yes I know all about battery training and optimization. When it comes to battery life, I see it as a coin-flip between the two.

    There are many differences as jhardy2008 explained. But Android is a very user friendly platform and open source.

    With iOS6 out for iphone there is no more Google Maps. They have used their own Apple Maps and many have reported that the app is horrible!

    I've got a Galaxy Mini and it's about 15 months old. My daughter got an iphone 4 at the same time. Her phone is fine, mine needs to be replaced.
    • her screen looks brand new, mine looks like I've taken to it with sandpaper
    • she has a million apps, mine was never going to hold much - it is a mini, after all - but over time I've had to delete apps until all I'm left with are phone utilities (keyboard, text message deleter), audible and strava. Facebook, twitter, viber and skype used to fit on it along with a handful of games... all gone and for no real reason except the phone was running out of disk space... I've no idea where its gone.
    • the Galaxy's battery used to be really good, it now needs charging twice a day but atleast I can replace it. The iphone seems to last all day despite a life spent texting the nonsense that teenage girls text, the millions of selfie photos and endless facebooking.
    • the iphone seems to organise it's icons the way the user wants them - the android will subtly move things around so that they aren't where you left them and you have to go hunting
    • the android has mightytext which is a killer app that lets me text from my desktop. I can leave my phone in the car and sit at my desk and still respond to texts, call back the people who have called me etc.
    • the iphone is stuck using the cumbersome itunes desktop app which will hopefully be much improved with the launch of the iphone 5 but it has serious limitations at the moment. I'm pretty happy with Google Play but I only run one device through my account, might be different if I had several.
    After that rundown I should be heading out to buy an iphone but the thought of losing mightytext makes me hang in there a little bit longer :)
