Which for you, as a consumer, is a better mobile OS?

For a phones, I go with android. Especially now that chrome is out for android. It's just a better browser than safari.

Everything else for phones comes down to integration and since I use gmail exclusively for my email, the gmail app on android wins over the one on iOS. I like the app navigation better on android as well. I hate how installing apps on iOS auto adds it to the wall.

In reality though, at this point, I consider iOS 6 and Android 4.x to be dead even.

For tablets I would go with iOS if it weren't for the fact that I love the nexus 7 over my iPad right now. When it comes to reading books, news, even watching movies (though I almost never watch movies on mobile devices) I just love the form factor and size. It just feels better to me. I no longer carry my iPad with me everywhere I go. My iPad is now pretty much used only for exclusive apps and apps that really work better with larger screens. I'm actually hoping next iPad goes larger, or at least changes form factor to more of a 16:9 or at least closer than it currently is which would make it more of a contender for media consumption.

The only real leg up iOS has right now compared to Android is airplay. But I don't use iTV so its a bit moot. Though I might have to break down and get one, or if they can get other set top makers to integrate with airplay it would make a good enough different I might start using my iPad more, or I might just go buy an iTouch. DLNA is just not there right now, android currently just does not have the capability to do what I think would be really cool if more screens/devices used these screen share capabilities.

Finally. I'm a programmer. So the non-consumer in me gravitates to android as it's been far easier for me to hack my android devices. I wouldn't even try to do that with my old iPad (i'll probably just gift it to my nieces).
