Android Ice Cream Sandwich vs iOS 5
Android Ice Cream Sandwich vs iOS 5 – in use
Ice Cream Sandwich: Android's core user experience has never been as polished as iOS. But the times are 'a changing and improved multi-tasking means you can flit between apps and features at a satisfyingly fast pace. Like Honeycomb, widgets now have their own tab in the apps screen, too. Throw in Flash and you're looking at an all-round smartphone experience.
iOS 5: Leave a child alone with your iPhone and they'll master it in minutes. iOS 5 is that intuitive. Now that it's borrowed a few tricks from Android, its intuitiveness has gone up a notch. Chuck iCloud, Wi-Fi Sync and features like Newsstand into the equation and you’re looking at an extremely clever UI and a continued hassle-free user experience.

I have both an android phone and an iphone - the problem with android phones is that you seem to get left behind and left to the wim of the manufacturer as to when or even whether you get updates. This means you phone is left vunerable. Yes I know you can root your phone but know plenty of people who have rooted their phone and its been hacked. These are fairly tech savvy users as well.
Bells and whistles do not make a OS. Comparing android with apple is difficult as they both come from differing OS cultures.
I think now its more down to personal preference than features - which you get on better with. I prefer iOS but my wife prefers android.
