iPhone's are great. I'm no apple fanboy infant I despise macs and iTunes. But it's so fast and easy to use and the apps IMO are better than android ones. I have tried the androids and the people who own them say but I didn't want an iPhone without trying it so that's just as fanboy. Plus picking up a smart phone for 10mins and saying you don't like it is harsh. You need much more time. I made on of my friends use it for a while and now he wants to swap his one x that banged on about. The iPhone is the ferrari and the androids are modded mr2's.
Now with a phone that I constantly use and need plus ther isn't a massive difference in price il stick with apple but for tablets I don't think you could beat a nexus 7 for the price.
