Right? I feel like for the first 4-5 years it was whining that Android stole everything from Apple (arguable) and then after that it was whining about iOS leaching Android features.

But now... who cares? Or has the effort to care? Look at both of the latest platform releases. It's new APIs. It's new services. It's new ways of giving them more data to improve their services. They're working on UI and UX issues and small features.

We've reached such feature parity - I honestly believe a choice between iOS/Android/WP8/RIM is going to give you a good, fairly polished experience. (The biggest differentiator left isn't bullshit gradients and transparencies; if anything it's personal preferences or App availability [I need my Google Voice!])
