Thanks for letting us know your thoughts, I was interested to see your experience since you seemed to go into it with an open mind as I did - and seem to have come away with almost the same sentiment about the refinement of iOS.

One of the other things that is a concern is the lack of standardization of Android updates, much has been made of "fragmentation". There was just a post of how some recent Motorola devices will not be getting the ICS update (even though it was promised), and the flagship Samsung Galaxy S3 is only just starting to get this update even though other devices (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7) have had it for months. With iOS, you know all recent devices (say up to about 3 years old even) will get the update at once.

Little things, for me, added up to a better overall experience on iOS.
