Wall of Text...
Would love to read it and see your "opinion" that one is better than the other blah blah blah, each have their good and bad.
To pick ONE company to support imo is just ignorant.
I am going to pick a device that does was I want no matter who makes it, or what OS it has on it.
If Windows Phone OS had Every single app that apple and android already has, you would see microsoft taking a big slice of marketshare.
iOS and OS X will merge in the next year or two and become one OS that isn't anywhere near its peak.
iOS has a email client that is a million times better than android.
Native Visual Voicemail that doesn't have to be off loaded to some 3rd party app.
Cut, Copy and Paste is a million times better on iOS vs android. Period. (as well as dropping a cursor into the middle of a word in the Correct place)
I agree the Nexus 5 is an awesome device.
I want one just like most people, but I am not blind that iOS does some things WAY better than android.
Once iOS and OS X merge then their tablets / phones will no longer be limited to just iOS apps, they will be able to run full desktop programs from a desktop OS that has been around for Years.
Google doesn't have a Windows desktop OS or OS X they can add to their device once power / battery life concerns are no longer an issue.
The best "tablet" on the market is the Surface Pro 2. It's neither android or iOS. it's just too expensive. (and people love to hate microsoft, just like people love to hate some other company)
I believe that Moto X out innovated Apple and iOS this go'round. I sold my iPhone and kept the Moto X.
Android and iOS both are awesome. No one is Wrong or Right for picking either device/OS.
Android has plenty of "little" thing I run into daily using the Moto X that I am like really? google?
You are correct that, for the money, the Nexus 5 is the best device on the market. well.... other than the MOTO X!!!!!!!!
