Conversely, one of the things I miss about Android apps is the competition. I recall there being several (free) apps that fulfill some function on Android, and then when switching to iPhone, the apps that provide that function costing $10+ dollars.

There's an obvious trade off for security/reliability, but I've still come across my fair share of terrible iPhone apps. Android definitely has a more freeware/open source vibe.

On Android I pay a one time fee of $25 to get access to the play store. On Apple I pay $100 every year plus they are total dicks about it. The fee is $100 yet I pay even more although my currency is stronger than the dollar plus sales tax!
