I use both but am not a power user. If I was I would not like the closed
ecosystem for apps or HW options. Both these requirements do not seem to bother
the average user who simply shrug and pay double for the insult. To each his
own.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

1) Total control over the software installed on my device. That includes the
real choice of being able to accept license terms for a specific piece of
software - or in the alternative, because I can not accept those terms being
able to completely remove said software.
2) Total control over some kind
of protection mechanism - such as firewall software - so I can decide whether or
not to allow a piece of software on my device to send out information. I don't
like the idea of a third party having key-loggers installed on my device for any
purpose. I want to be able to point at a particular application and easily say:
that app has no need to connect to the internet, therefore block all such
communication! That app has no need of knowing my contact information list,
completely block that! That app has no need of "knowing the state of my phone"
so block that!
Of course: I seriously doubt Apple will ever allow those
two features. After all - if you could choose to block the app that "allows
someone else to disable your phone" that would kind of defeat the purpose of the
app wouldn't it?
