I have iOS, my brother has Android. We've both been using iOS since 2008 but he got an android tablet recently and that made him switch. I don't dislike Android... It's just not my OS of choice. I appreciate how open it is and how much you can do on it but when you use the same thing for 5 years it's kinda hard to switch. I don't buy any iDevice for its brand name or design, I buy for the OS, ease of use and the (slightly) larger AppStore. I buy because I know that it's something I won't have to tinker with to get used to (although it's not like its hard to, I find Android just as easy as iOS to use) and pretty much the main thing is iTunes as well. I'm not quite site why people have problems or complain with iTunes but I've never had a problem. I spent a little too much money on apps to ever consider switching as well
As far as emulation/jailbreaking goes, I'm patient enough to wait for jailbreaks. I love Cydia and the tweaks and stuff they have on there but for emulators they need to hurry up with PS1 and N64 already. I'm not expecting miracles here but a well optimized emulator like N64Droid and etc. would be great considering iOS devices are becoming better and better with every new phone release
It's dumb that some people get so passionate with this stuff (not any of you, I haven't read any comments yet) but they're just phones, take them for what they are and appreciate the technology. iOS 7 and Jelly Bean are fantastic OSes for fantastic devices. I can't speak for Android since as mentioned above I don't own one but I've been using iOS ever since 2.0 and it's crazy how much the technology has changed in 5 years
Ok I'm done
