I really see no difference between iPhone and Android other than my investment on the Play store. I do have a lot of purchased apps as I get free Google Opinion credit so I kept buying premium apps. So for that, if the price and function are similar, I will probably go with Android.
Count me as one who still has actual media (music/video/photos) on my phone. Yes, I know I can download a "stream" for inflight or when I'm disconnected (eg, some subway systems) but I get what I want from my collection. Then again, my file management is really copy on or off of the phone. No fancy sorting. About the only "real" file management for me is when I want to do some cleanup of something like acrobat or whatsapp downloads.
