So you haven't yet taken a look at iOS? iOS is pretty transparent. I would say far more so than the broad, vague permissions model Android is currently using and the even vaguer one they're moving to with their "L" release.
Additionally, with iOS, you can also go back and granularly review app privacy settings and adjust them, if desired. You can't do that on vanilla Android.
