I've been a devote Android fan since its first release but last week I was given an iphone 4, good stuff I thought - something new to play with. But at the same time i upgraded my contract and got a Galaxy S2.
So now I probably have the two best phones you can buy and in all honesty im torn between them... I wasn't expecting this.
When I first tried IOS - its was the original iphone. I found it lacking, it missed the features Android had, it didn't have an equivalent XDA xommunity for mods and tweaks. All this has changed - i was able to jailbreak (root) my iphone in minutes and have a wealth of mods to chose from. I ended up moding IOS so that it had all the features of Android and then some. But I guess I've also done the equivalent with Android for years - modding it to add IOS functionality.
Now both phones run almost the same, its hard on a day to day usability basis to tell them apart. It will be even harder when IOS 5 comes out - since apple nicked 200 ideas from Android and injected it into the iphone. Right now the only difference is the choice of apps. Android market has come on leaps and bounds since the early days (gawd do you remember some of those apps a few years ago!) but it still doesn't match the App store.
Is anyone else in the same boat? Are we all die hard Android fans and wouldn't even consider an iphone? Would you ever switch? Does anyone know how to get an Android to mate with an Iphone?
