That's your own opinion period.

 

There is a "better" from a developer standpoint, which shall be discussed in a developer point of view (Linux is better than windows), and from a consumer standpoint (windows is better than linux)

To me, as a mere consumer, android just creams all over iOS. You can't do nothing on it, never seen such a trashy operative system on a phone, even the dead Symbian gives you more oportunity to costumization than iOS. You can't choose your ringtone, no wallpaper, lol. OS for children...

 

Now if you are a developer, I won't argue which one is better for that or not, neither do I care.

That's the exactly oposite... the iOS is the better mobile OS for consumers... best UI... easy, simple, intuitive and fast... that's all. A user don't need to know how config or changes the things like in Android... iOS just works like everyone wants without a previous study.

iOS or Windows Phone today are the best mobile OS in the market... for now iOS is still better than WP but that's can change in the future.

Everyone hate Symbian because it's hard to do anything in the OS... developers, consumers, Nokia, etc... everyone knows the Symbian UI is not friendly like Android.

Edit - In sumary:

OS for Developers: Andorid, Symbian, MeeGo (you need with knowledge to do everything the product is designed to)
OS for Users: iOS, WP (you don't need knowledge to do everything the product is designed to)

It's like Windows (iOS) and Linux (Android)... well Android uses a crap javavirstualmachine (customized) who steals almost 50% of the system resources when Linux uses a pretty fast C/C++ code.
