I need to have a smartphone as part of my job needs me to be be able to
use and be familiar with all the new social media communications
tools. Initial research indicates that Android-based phones have the

some adhoc feedback... i have found that podcasts dont work as well on
android (especially enhanced podcasts - which i think are an apple
propritary thing anyway, surprise surprise!!! :)
i personally prefer android anyday, get the phone, root it (or not), and

I owned an IPhone for a number of years and recently got a android galaxy

Amazingly enough, not even technical or otherwise FOSS–loving people
seem to care. Blah blah pragmatism blah blah works well enough. Nothing
about principles.
