iPhone

@notebook. Flash is dead. Apple + HTML5/CSS3 killed it, and Adobe has finally admitted it. Android vs iPhone arguments are as pointless as were the Windows vs Mac wars. Its all a matter is personal preference now, as these technologies will continue to be "close" to each other. :)

ps: I own two Android phones, and one iPhone. They are all great, but as a developer and end-user I prefer the iDevices.

Not quite...on mobile yes but not so black & white on PCs....and its not because HTML5 is any better, good marketing on the part of Jobs/ apple and the relentless promotion of HTML5. The fact is that HTML 5 is not a completed technology at the present moment. Nothing cemented down or implemented yet.. HTML5 features don't work well on several browsers.

In the case of Android, yes you can view youtube out of the box.

How long before HTML5 gets it's act together?

Well Windows & Mac haven't become that close yet, so I wouldn't necessarily forecast the same with Android & IOS.

Yes, I understand, I own 1x iPhone 4, 1x Android, also a Linux, a Mac & a Win7 machine,...and as a data recovery specialist I find the hardware side of smartphones to be starkly different, for example a 1.5 GHz dual core Scorpion CPU/Adreno 220 GPU combo on the HTC is noticeably faster than a 1ghz Cortex A8/PowerVR SGX535 combo on the iPhone 4s. A dual flash is not the same as a single, a 3.5" Screen is a big diff to 2.5", -A missing Micro SD card slot is a game changer for me....etc etc etc. There's a big difference in the detail.

I also understand that human beings are creatures of habit & tend to cling to the technology they learned to use first & are rather reluctant to expand their skills with other newer systems.

Yes, I do agree it's pointless to argue about what's a better OS.
