I guess the price is the deciding factor and if you can get most of what the iPhone offers and it satisfies your needs, then the Android route is the way to go.
I agree, no point in getting cranky Amos :-)
I normally take time to investigate and validate and then just go for what I think is OK for my needs/daughters.

The arguments for the iPhone and the cost, have not turned my head enough to want to go that route.

I have left it up to my daughter and she has looked at the facts and decided that the Android route will be more than satisfactory for her.

I wish I had that sort of technology when I was her age.

Thanks for all the comments. I will post back on what she does.

In between times if anybody can truly convince me that the Kings new clothes are real.........
