Top way Android beats iOS?

More people chose to use it, and no one cares about whiny iOS users feeling like they are no longer part of a special society.

Developers, developers, developers. I have no desire to develop for a closed system, where every tiny code snippet needs a license or ground-up development before assembling an app of any significance. Instantly leveraging open source modules/objects for inclusion in a new app makes a great many tasks approachable which would otherwise require too much time, money, or red tape.

Apple fans can make all the derogatory comments they want about ‘geeks’. If geeks are moving to the platform, users will follow, as that's where development is taking place.

Please clarify: is it because more people choose to use it as a deliberate act (i.e.: if it didn’t have Android they would have chosen something else that did), or is it because it just happens to be there on more devices (i.e.: Android is irrelevant to their intended use)?
