iOS and Android are both great mobile platforms. They also have quite a bit of room for improvement and different ideas of what matters to users. Naturally, many people feel one trumps the other. So is one actually better? Here are your best arguments.
Note: This post summarizes what you said, not necessarily what we think on the subject (although you might find a comment or two from us summarized as well, as we often participate in the discussion). Also, in this specific case, the Lifehacker readership vastly prefers and uses Android. Keep that in mind as you read, and check out the original discussion if you want to see every argument including those from Lifehacker staff (Whitson Gordon and Eric Ravenscraft).
