Using iDevices on more than one computer (as a backup, for instance.) Having to use iTunes for iOS updates. Having to use 3rd party apps to do basic file stuff.

On the pro side, I've enjoyed the display and touchscreen on iDevices. But I haven't found them to be very productive or intuitive. Yet.
that's one of my biggest dislikes of ios. i also don't like having data on the c drive. and backing up both my daughter's ipod and my ipad takes up more space than i'd like. plus the fact that itunes is a needed program for transfering files.

with android, all i need is a cable and a computer. i can back up to and transfer from any computer. not only that but all programs can share a document - i don't have to have a copy of a book for ibook, stanza, and a pdf reader. apple's dumbed down the os quite a bit for basic users.
