I've got both an iPhone and a droid phone. The apps for the iPhone are much plentiful, are cleaner, more professionally done and for the most part are far more creative. For the most part, I use the droid strictly as a phone and the iPhone for the apps. I'll be picking up my iPad today as a replacement for my Sony 505 eBook reader.

I'm certainly no fan of DRM and strip if out of all the ebooks that I buy (which is a lot, btw), but I've also seen the opposite of the Walled Garden approach in both the computer open source/shareware and the android marketplace. It sounds good, but so far the results just don't match the theory.
