Just wondering. :)

I have the Black iPhone 4, but I want the Samsung Galaxy S4 so badly, it's so beautiful! :$

Anyway, even if you don't have either, just pick one you like to purchase and why. :)

WOW! Really surprised Android is winning! Why though?

I voted Android because as a power user at this point I only care about Android for myself, but I have spent MUCH more money the last two years on iOS devices for the wife than stuff for me.

I would still choose Apple. s4 is powerful, but I don't think it looks beautiful. Instead, the only reason why I won't choose it is because its look.

I like the HTC One more myself. But for phones Android is the easy choice for me. But I still like Apple for the iPad.

Android, but if you carry a purse the Note 2 is still tops. ;)

Apple all the way, the HTC One is a beautiful phone, but I cannot stand how any of the other Android handsets look. If you added HTC One to the poll I'd choice that.

Android by far. My wife prefers iOS because it's more simple so she has an iPhone. I like that she prefers iOS though as it allows me to easily check out new features/apps/stuff on either OS.

Ok and the point of this is what? You don't say what your needs or wants are. This is just going to be a popularity poll and one phone isn't even out yet.

Apple for me. For my uses it works better. I've tried Android 4.1 and it just doesn't work for me. It's a great OS with much more flexibility than iOS and I can certainly understand the draw of it.

Android. I had apple for 3 years or so I just got tiered of the ui and stuck in the box feeling. I like customization and trying new software/roms.

I voted android even though I have both. Android does so much more for me than iOS can ever think of doing. iOS is very stale at this point and unless apple totally revamps it it will continue to be stale.

I generally like Android better, but with iphones I've always gotten much better battery life. If there was a nexus phone with a good camera, good amount of storage and a big battery I wouldn't even consider Apple anymore.

Both to some degree, but far prefer Android for phones. Like others, iOS is more for my wife who's more afraid of anything radically different from what she's used to. Perfect for her; because it's pretty much guaranteed, it'll be a looooooooooong time before she has to deal with anything radically different or new with iOS.

If Apple comes out with a 4.5-4.7" retina phone it would make the decision much more difficult. Switching between an S3 and Nexus 4 now and both are great phones and I could not go back to a smaller screen.

Both. Android for my phone and iOS for my tablet and ipod. Perfectly happy. Contrary to popular belief you can in fact use and enjoy both.

Use a GS4, Galaxy Note II, HTC One, or any other large-screened Android phone for a few days and your iPhone will be listed for sale on Craigslist in no time flat.

3.5" or 4" is too small.

Android for me, but I can see the merits of Apple ownership. It's what my wife uses. She likes it simple, and is invested in the iTunes ecosystem, so that was an easy decision.

I've got no such ties, and have big hands and big fingers, and have been a Swype user since WinMo6.

I've really enjoyed bigger screens and flashing ROMs when I didn't like something about the OS, or when OEM updates were slow.

Apple continues to push the "Quality" bar higher, and Android continues to push features. Pick your poison. Everyone wins.

Both, but I would strongly caution against buying multimedia contents from iTunes. (Amazon is a great alternative on iDevices)

The S4 is going to feel like a piece of plasticky junk next to an iPhone, surely?
