Apple Vs. Android

Interface
     Apple - Although Ipone's interface is merely rows of icons, it is simple and allows you to get to apps quickly. The simplicity of the interface makes the Iphone easy to use and also the ideal type of device for someone new to smart phones. iOS 5 also features a notification center.
          Score: 7/10
     Android -Android's interface isn't as easy to use as Apples, however,  it features a fully customizable set of screens and a notification bar that allows you to easily check notifications and toggle settings. The display also allows the option of putting apps as icons, or as small, medium or large sized widgets. The widgets allow you to use fully animated apps in the interface without even opening them up.
          Score 9.5/10       
Display
     Apple - The Iphone 4S's screen size is only 3.5 inches, but it's LCD screen is actually a higher resolution than many of the Androids. The display is therefore crisper and brighter than the majority of Android phones.
          Score 8.5/10
     Android - Android may not have a plethora of phones with crisper and brighter screens than the Iphone 4s, but the majority of Android phones have much larger screens, better contrast, and amazingly vibrant color. This makes playing games, watching movies, and even watching the animated widgets look that much better. In addition to this, there are phones such as a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with HD display (1280 x 720 pixels)
          Score 8.5/10   
Keyboard
     Apple - Anyone who has used an Iphone or Ipod touch keyboard knows how truly amazing it is. Even though it has a very small screen, once the keyboard get's used to the common phrases you say, it learns.For example: If you often type the phrase: "Hey what's up" the Iphone will start to type that anytime your fingers move into the direction of the "h" "e" "y" and so fourth.  Often times, my fingers aren't even in the close proximity of the letters and the iPhone still types it based on tendency. In addition to this, although there are some words it might auto-correct, if you change the auto-corrected word to the actually word you want, it learns fairly quickly. Basically, the more you use the keyboard, the more amazing it becomes.
          Score 9.5/10        
     Android -  Android phones keyboards are different depending on the android you get. Some come with both display and physical keyboards while some just come with just the display. The major advantage to Android is you can download third party keyboards from the market, including the popular Swype. This allows you to choose from hundreds of different keyboards until you find one your like.
          Score 8/10
Data Speeds
     Apple - The Iphone 4s's new duel-antenna system has the potential to reach 14 Mbps, however, the Iphone 4s averages speeds of 2.2 Mbps and has a high of 5.5 Mbps.
          Score 7.5/10       
     Android - Any 4g Android phone you can find has faster speeds than the Iphone four, including the Galaxy SII which reaches on average over 12.5 Mbps.
          Score 9/10 
Camera 
     Apple - Fast 1080 P video. Flash, HDR, some editing features.
         Score 9/10
     Android - Slightly slower, less crisp, double flash, HDR, burst shot mod, panorama mode,  tons of effects, tons of editing features.
         Score 9/10
Apps
     Apple - Over 350,000 thousand apps, games with good graphics. Infinity blade..etc. Apps come to Iphone first before going to andoird.
     Score 10/10
     Android - Around 300,000 apps. Games not as high graphic. Angry birds is free.
