Android is much more wide open, which can lead to self-inflicted problems but in general offers more choices for hardware and carrier.
iOS is definitely more mature, but as I heard from people standing in line at Verizon stores returning their iPhones -- iPhone isn't 4G/LTE and I had to pay more for my apps.
If you are all squared away using iPhone for all your work stuff, then there is nothing wrong with staying on that platform as long as you don't expect 4G speeds out of the next version of the iPhone rumored to be released in Sept/Oct.
If you don't mind tinkering with things to customize your phone the way you like it, rather than just accept what Steve Jobs says is your optimum look and feel, then by all means try Android.
This debate is a lot like the Boeing vs Airbus debate, everyone likes different things for different reasons and everyone hates those same things for different reasons.
Android answers: iCrew - yes with Fennec/Firefox 4.0b4, list for flight - yes, put in for WS - yes, put in for GS - havent tried it but same screen as WS.
Firefox has its quirks in iCrew. Travelnet can be accessed with the DolphinHD Browser (free) as well as Firefox, but some of the pulldown menus are touchy.
Hmmm, well I was looking forward to 4G speeds so I may have to try a different phone. Of course it could take AT&T forever to get a 4G network so it could be a moot point.
I'm very curious about the Android platform phones. The iPhone is my first & only smartphone so I know nothing but it. I would like to be able to view Flash videos, & a few other things like listening to hockey games via Internet for free. Come this fall I may take the leap.
Thanks for your insight.
