Best iOS, Android, Winmo Debate

I sat down this morning watching a 20 min video from AnandTech reviewing the Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich.

This is by far one of the best video reviews I've watched, and it doesn't really cover much about ICS or the Nexus, that's found in their written review, but it does touch on a subject we see Android and Apple Fanboys fight over a lot: which is the best OS.

And yes although it's been said before, "both are good, just pick the one that works for you", this review states it slightly differently, adding that you can't exactly compare the two because their focus aren't entirely the same. OXS+iOS and Win7+WinMo taking a two-device strategy while Google, without a real proper OS of its own (unless you count Chrome OS which seems a tad confusing at this point what Google wants to do with it), has a different approach to targeting the market.
Watch if you have the time or if you're just curious to see what the reviewer has to say...or if you just want to hear about his thoughts of Apple/Windows/Google's strategy towards selling you a mobile device, jump straight to 2min 34seconds. If you have a whole 20 mins, just sit and watch the entire thing, whichever OS you use, in general I felt this was a really well thought out review.

from Anand's analysis, since you are a MBP owner and carry it with you most of the time, you should be using an iPhone instead!

On the contrary, his review actually makes me want to stick to the Android platform even more.

I may carry my MBP around and prefer it to my Windows PC at home, even highly recommending it over the Windows platform, but since my pc stores all my music, shows, and generally manages my entertainment rather than my MBP which I use regularly for work, having an Android platform allows me to bounce back and forth between two different OSes.
