I agree that the backup and restore process needs work. I rooted and figured out Titanium backup so all is well for me now.I like what both platforms have to offer.
Since I'm a power user, I use my Android devices more than my iOS devices.
I like being able to plug my Android phone into the computers at work and use my phone like a USB jump drive. I can also use an OTG cable to read and transfer files to and from the USB jump drive I use at work.
Android has had it's share of problems.
The most recent devices have fixed a lot of issues I was having on previous Android devices. I used to recommend the iPhone to those who were getting a smartphone for the first time. Now I can recommend the latest Android devices with no problem.
I will say that iCloud does an awesome job of restoring your device. I returned a 16GB iPad for 32GB model. When I entered my Apple ID, all of my apps, folders, wallpapers, and settings were restored. Everything was exactly how I had it on my previous iPad. Google does a pretty good job with this feature as well, but I always have problems with quite a few 3rd party apps and some settings not being added after the restoration process. I will say they're both better than Blackberry. Entering PIN numbers for all of my paid apps was a chore.

I'm really annoyed at myself for not rooting my Nexus 7 when I got it! I want to be able to use apps such as stickmount and Titanium Backup. Now if I root, I'll loose all of my data :-(

What data will you loose the only thing I see as an issue is app data for games and honestly all I can say is big friggen deal. Pics, music and stuff you can store on a computer. Apps you own are still on play. There's not a ton you loose

I would be curious to learn how you made this work. I am new to Android, but my research has shown me that this is not possible. In fact, on the "Back up and Reset", it specifically says "back up app data". There are about a dozen apps I have found that help you make a list of apps to help you restore, but all of them say they cannot backup the apps unless you Root your device, and even then, none of them offer the ability to backup to the cloud.
Are you sure you actually got all of your programs to automatically reinstall?
Here's an interesting article, from CNET, no less. Finally some Android love outside of fan sites.

I agree. Bring on BlackBerry 10. I hope it is a hit for this same reason.I hope the "love affair" never ends. The competition between Android and iOS makes for better products on both platforms. If Win8 achieves critical mass, that will help too.

the biggest challenge is the depth of apps available. Unless the blackberry can pull a rabbit out of its hat they will have some difficulties getting people away from ios and Android, but I hope they can stay alive. The demos I've watched look pretty cool.As long as I can SIMPLY drag and drop and have said files work without the use of proprietary software, I will ALWAYS give said OS a try!
