Try downloading browsers and running javascript and html tests on them. If you were to try installing different browsers on an android device, and run javascript and html tests, the results will vary as each developers use their own browser engines. Now try running different browsers on iOS. Their scores will be identical.

Desktop:
Chrome = 414
Firefox = 345
Safari = 317
IE9 = 138
Android:
Chrome = 369
Firefox = 328
Dolphin = 281
iOS:
Safari = 324
Chrome = 324
Dolphin = 324
Chrome has been established to be one of the best browsers out there in terms of html rendering and compatibility. But on iOS, it's just a skinned Safari browser.

just because both use webkit as there underlying engine does not mean chrome is a skinned safari. Safari was built for iOS it will run faster as of now, chrome as long way to go to match safari in iOS but its a start to add features that safari was missing.

Unfortunately, that's just how it is. They cannot import the actual chrome browser because Apple won't let them. The speed issue is actually because they can't import the Chrome browser into iOS. And the webkit they're using in its place is a slower version of of the one used in Safari.
Is there a native iOS browser that does not score 324? The only exception i've come across is Opera, and that's because the Opera browser app isn't actually a browser. I believe there are other browsers as well that uses the same principle as Opera that are basically just client apps where a remote server is the one doing the downloading and rendering.
Saras:
If you want to "game" on the device, iOS is better. As fewer publishers are willing to put their games in a non-microtransaction model due to the rampant piracy in Android.
Otherwise, I personally prefer iPhone Android. Why the fuck did I write iPhone here?
Tephnos:
I'd have to say Andriod, but personally I don't see myself supporting Apple after that recent patent ruling. I'm getting real tired of their shit.
I've got an S3 personally.
