I would say iOS is the best, It comes with brilliant hardware performance where hardware is the biggest let down for most of the Android devices in the market -when comparing to apple products.

I have tried HTC Android and Apple iPhone. I'm happier with the latter.

Android malware

Android's surge in
popularity has triggered an
accompanying surge in
malware aimed at the
mobile OS, says a new
study from Fortinet.
Analyzing the malware
landscape this year, the
security vendor tracked a
90 percent jump in
Android malware families
in 2011 compared with
2010. That figure doesn't
account for infection rates
or severity, only the rise in
malware seeking to infect
Android devices.
In comparison, malware
directed toward Apple's
iOS rose by only 25 percent
over last year.
Fortinet pointed to two
reasons for the larger bull's
eye painted on Android's
back.
Google's OS has shown a
dramatic increase in
market share over the past
year, surpassing iOS,
Nokia's Symbian, RIM's
BlackBerry, and other
mobile platforms. A recent
Gartner report pegged
Android's share of the
global smartphone market
at 52.5 percent, followed
by Symbian with 16.9
percent and iOS with 15
percent. As the leading
smartphone OS, Android
has naturally become a
bigger target for
cybercriminals.
But Google's open
development platform has
also played a role in
Android's appeal to
malware writers.
"FortiGuard Labs has found
approximately five times
the amount of malicious
families on the Android OS
versus what we've found
on iOS," Axelle Apvrille,
senior mobile anti-virus
researcher at Fortinet, said
in a statement. "We
believe that this disparity
can be attributed to the
way Apple handles iOS
application development
and distribution. Unlike
Android, which makes it
fairly easy to place
applications for people to
download, iOS requires
developers to undergo
some strict screening from
Apple before the
application can make it to
the Apple Store."
The report noted that iOS
isn't totally immune from
malware. As an example,
Fortinet cited the Eeki
banking worm, a malicious
app that specifically hunts
for jailbroken iPhones. But
still, Apple's more closed
approach has make it less
of a target for security
threats.
Looking at the greatest
number of malware
samples received and
analyzed by FortiGuard
Labs, the report described
the top five malware
families directed toward
Android devices.
1. Geinimi. Android's first
botnet can send out a
user's location and control
the person's phone to call
a certain number,
explained Fortinet.
2. Hongtoutou. A Trojan in
the form of live wallpaper,
this malware can steal
private information, such
as a user's subscriber
number (IMSI), and access
malicious Web sites.
3. DroidKungFu. This
botnet is multifaceted in
that it can remotely install
other malware, launch
specific apps, and add
bookmarks.
4. JiFake. This phony IM
app can send messages to
premium phone numbers.
5. BaseBridge. This Trojan
can also send SMS
messages to premium
numbers.
Certain malware, such as
BaseBridge, was found on
Android Market before
Google removed it. Some
malicious apps try to
disguise themselves as
legitimate, while others
actually sneak into
legitimate apps.
"DroidKungFu was an
example of malware that
was found repackaged in a
legitimate VPN utility,
whereas Geinimi was
found within the
legitimate application 'Sex
Positions,'" Fortinet
malware analyst Karine de
Ponteves said in a
statement.
