Good luck with ios 6, because they released it to early loads of bugs have been found. Android land maybe be slower at releasing updates but at least we know it will work

I had no problem with ios6 apart from the change in maps personally and its just a personal view so you shouldn't feel you have to justify android as i am at least open minded as to try different tech obviously some are not as open minded

The one thing I have noticed is how android users dislike apple and apple dislike android,just an observation no offence intended

As an ex Iphone user (owned an Iphone 4 for just over two years) I think I can safely say that Android software has advanced at a much faster rate than IOS, true IOS was more polished to begin with but Android has caught up and is now overtaking.

Apple have really got to make some advances with their next version of IOS if the want to truly compete in the future smartphone market.

I agree but you have to admit too that the ics is a bit jerky and it does crash sometimes but as all tech is interesting I like to try it all

Actually I've found ICS to be quite stable and Jelly bean with it's added goodness it's certainly worth waiting for!

Stock ICS is very stable, but problems can occur with apps. Apple control what apps are available so users can download with the knowledge that they will work OK. Google don't do this (open source is THE point of andriod), so consequently some apps cause conflicts until user feedback is received and problems solved. Android is a community of developers, whereas Apple is Apple..... Neither is right or wrong.... just different.
