People argument for android phones being better than iOS phones is usually hardware related such as ram and processor. What people don't seem to realize the android os takes up A LOT more resource than iOS.And the reason why this is , because android os has to have more resource in order to use different architectures built by different manufactures such as samsung ,sony and other hardware companies. Where iOS devices is controlled by apple so they can modify there operating system around it easily and therefore less resources used up.

I agree that Android takes up more resources than iOS but you also don't seem to realise that 2GB for android is not equal to 1GB of iPhone
Android top smartphones will lag on 1 GB Ram but this doesn't make that 2GB is required for them to remove lag.
It is fundamental of computer that all the things are to be made of power of two so the next possible value of RAM is 2GB
So in theory 1GB iphone is lag free and lets suppose 1.3- 1.8 GB for Android is lag free ..this means Android users are getting extra 200 - 700 MB EXTRA ram for the same price.

And second argument is android is open source, but I would think most people would rather have someone reviewing apps so you won't waste our money completely on horrible apps (not saying apple doesn't have horrible apps but less chance of getting completely ripped off) and also gives developers a better chance being successful. So that way the app store won't be filled with so many horrible app that the great apps won't have any chance to be noticed. Also, I am a mobile developer myself.

This approach is only short term and cant be done in long term. Again people like you dont realize that you are also paying for this review to be done by Apple for the applications. It doesn't matter to you.
So let me give example.
There will be a body set up to review phones so that they are not crap and agree to the their phones standards.This review charges are included in the phone price. suppose $10 .. MOST PEOPLE WOULD RATHER PAY THOSE $10
There will be a body set up to review cars so that they are not crap and agree to the their standards.This review charges are included in the cars price. suppose $100 .. MOST PEOPLE WOULD RATHER PAY THOSE $100
There will be a body set up to review vgchart member post so that they are not crap and agree to the their standards( no personal attacks,spam).This review takes 2 day to complete. MOST PEOPLE WOULD WAIT 2 days for their post to APPEAR .
The review part done by apple was good for the short term and it helped them create their brand image but in the long term reviewing are bad from the consumer point of view ( price ) and apple will be left behind in the app store race.
P.S
I am a mobile developer my self too :D
