Bias review no doubt. I stand by many users above. Call it what you will. However, I'd rather have my software on demand with IOS 9! Droidheads will be waiting till next summer.

Actually they copy each other : Apple from Google, Google from Apple, Apple from Microsoft etc. and I like it. If something works great on Apple and Google copies it I would be great for me as a android user and vice versa.

What matters most is the time it will be available to the end users' devices after final public release. iOS - ready for supported devices. Android - stage 2: OEM mods first which will take probably forever. Lol.

Shameless rip off with the multitasking in iOS vs Android? Well iOS were first with the safari tab layout when switching between tabs, Google copied that layout into app multitasking.
