Wife and I have a debate about this question. Do Linux gurus prefer one over the other and i said, the majority of Linux gurus will lean towards Android over Iphone.
I prefer Android over Iphone and for the cost of $100.00 I get a smart phone and 1 year of service and at the end of 1 year I throw it away and purchase another one.
