I wonder what potentially game changing stuff Apple is announcing today. Apple is going to have to announce something groundbreaking, as they have been having things slip. Other than incremental CPU advances, there isn't much the iPhone 5 improves over the 4, other than more anti-jailbreak measures. Even with fit/finish, HTC and Samsung are starting to catch up, especially with CNC machined aluminum cases that don't feel cheap.
All and all, I have an iPad, and a Nexus 10. I much prefer the N10 over the iPad just because I don't have to jailbreak it for functionality like finding the best wireless channel for signal, transferring files, and other tasks. If I'm on my laptop, I can even ssh or vnc into the Android tablet to grab something, should it be needed.
I will say that iOS is far better at music syncing. I've given up on it with Android, and probably will end up buying an iPod Touch just for playing via Bluetooth. With iOS, it is "buy once, play anywhere". Ironically, apps are less of a headache on Android, since I can log into my Google account, see my devices, then install/update/remove apps from each device from there.
For a lot of purposes, it is like Ford versus Chevy, but the reason I prefer Android is the fact that I can use the device the way I want to, not the way some CTO's vision dictates, and only his way.
