Android for:
- big screen, 4.3" and above. Very nice compared to 3.5" and below.
- keyboard choices. I have big hands, and MessagEase, which is also great one-handed, solves this.
- the daily free app (normally paid) from Amazon.com.
- generally less expensive apps. I've only spent about $10 total in apps, and along with the Amazon daily free apps, have all the ones I want.
- neat free apps, like sipdroid for free VOIP (with a pbxes.org free account), or Tonido, for remote access to your PC.
Android Recommendations:
- get a large screen. I thought I'd prefer portability, but hardly use my 3.2" anymore compared to my 4.3".
- get at least 1GB advertised ram - Android can be laggy with less. iOS is generally a smoother experience; perhaps it's Android's memory-freeing algorithm that can bring RAM to less than 50MB sometimes even when it has more freeable RAM.
