Edit: Sorry for writing Android 4.0, It should say Android 4.x.

Probably sticking with iOS although the S4 does have me slightly tempted. Probably would go for it if the screen wasn't so large.

I have lived off of IOS since IOS 1.0. March of 2013 I moved on to Android 4.1.2 running on my Galaxy Note II, and I haven't looked back. I currently have IOS 7 only because I am a developer, but android is my primary OS and will be for quite some time.

Staying on iOS 6, unless I end up buying one of the new iDevices coming this fall. They'd have to have some killer feature to make me put up with iOS 7.

*It should say Android 4.3, not Android 4.0.

Why, there isn't a single device for sale now with 4.3? And considering the HTC One is still being sold with 4.1.2 here in the US, I'd say if anything, it should say Android 4.x.

Both... I think I'm going to move to the midrange smartphone market (assuming one develops, which I have high hopes it does as more companies follow the Moto X's example). Therefore I'm looking to buy both the Moto X and the "lesser than the 5S" iPhone (hoping its around $349 but more likely $399/$450). I would really like to experience both OS's on a prepaid plan without breaking the bank

Android 4.3 on my N4. Might get the Moto X depending on how well it's received. If it doesn't live up to the hype, I'll probably get the next Nexus phone. LTE is the only thing I'm missing from my S3.

Going to stick with iOS 6 on my iPad in order to keep my jailbreak.

Either sticking with Android or moving to W8

I like Android but some of the recent changes in Android/Google services are putting me off sticking with it (so fancy a change to something I haven't used before)

As of now i want to get the New Droid Maxx, but I am waiting on the next iPhone to make the decision on which to get.

And to the OP, Android 4.0 is Ice Cream Sandwich which is old and replaced by 4.2 Jelly Bean(Yes 4.3 is out but 4.2 is out for the majority)

I'm undecided. If Apple suddenly changed and decided to release a 4.7+ phone I'd go iOS. Otherwise it's Android for me
