Wtf, stupid iPhone quoted and posted something for me.

I do like my iPhone, I also have a htc wildfire s for work, but it's crap because it has no memory to do anything other than make calls and messages. The better models are better.

For laptops (since it was brought up) I'm win7 all the way. Don't like Macintosh OS.
For hardware, they all run the same internals, so meh.

Don't want to sound negative and all, but why would I want to do that instead of just switching to Settings and back to the app?

While droid is by far the more adaptable/ stronger platform, apple is more user friendly. I personally prefer the droid, but have an iPhone because my carrier didn't have droids available. I am satisfied with it.

Practicity. Same reason why we have a multitasking bar in its instead of going out and selecting the app. Same reason why notification center was enabled. Same reason why we have a clock in the status bar instead of having to check the clock app and a lock rotation/mute button on the multitasking bar. Don't get me wrong, I like iOS, I just don't like apple's limitation idea. That is why I jailbreak it, so I modify it however I want

Sure. And I do think jailbreaking makes the whole 'Android is better because it's open' argument invalid. Jailbreaking makes my life as a developer a little bit more difficult, but from what I researched developers on Android have to be really really tough to survive :P

I like android because it is natively open, so I wouldn't have to use command lines and all that thing to do what I wanted in my gadget. But I am ok with jail breaking, I mainly don't like apples positioning against it (although I support them against installous, cracked ipas and app crackers, but cydia does warn you the sources with this kind of thing are illegal and asks you to not install them, so...)

As a side note, piracy you mentioned is breaking Law #1, so we don't even escalate to Law #2 to make a judgment ;)
