The iPhone IS a smartphone.
Just want to echo this.
But as for the actual question, it depends. Are you willing to spend the SAME on an android tablet/phone as you would the iphone/ipad? If yes, android by a mile. If no, why?
Most people compare the cheapest android to the cheapest ipad.
Which is akin to comparing the cheapest Chevy to the cheapest Ferrari. Obviously, they're not going to be even close to one another. But now, if you're talking about a Corvette instead of a cobalt, you'll notice a world of difference.
You need to compare like things. There's a much lower lower end in the android market than in the apple market.
An android phone of the same price as an iphone will be faster, have better support, and more space (and potentially expansion slots).
Same with tablets.
