    Lift kit, weight distribution hitch. Camper shell. Kayak Rack.
    I own Lenovo desktop,iPad,iPhone 4 and eventually iPhone 5. I also owned iPod nano,iPod touch. All these products eventually get passed on down the family tree so I upgrade on a 2 year cycle. There is absolutely nothing different between apple and droids. A phone is a phone is a phone. In 2 hours of owning either you will forget what you have and just use it.

    Androids have one weakness and that is number of cooks in the kitchen. Droid has no identity because it has to compete between itself and also apple products where as apple generally steals their innovations and makes them better. Apple has huuuuge support base and I am not under estimating. Today you can connect everything from a toilet seat to a rocket to an apple product and it will work... With 1 button.

    Here is an example: my truck has grom factory iPod interface. It charges my device without draining battery of my device. I can also connect my iPods,iPad and other iPhones to it and it will still work. Good luck doing that with droids... They are all different...

    At home I can connect all my apple devices to my apple tv and show stuff to people. When on the go I can use my svideo,RCa and other adapters. I can also connect all my apple devices to my home theater because it has apple port. My radio on screen patio operates using AirPlay which needs no cables. If I forgot to bring my cord I can walk up to 50% of people and they will have cord with them. Good luck doing that with droid.
    My phone also controls my house alarm, lights, electricity and my surveillance system. I also use my apple products as remotes for my tv.

    But droids are good in their own realm... Being oversized they do not easily fit into pockets so you see droid users constantly leaving them on the table somewhere. You can also customize your droids but half people always brake them. Every phone place has a line around the block with droid users trying to get their phones working after OS upgrade.

    If I had to suggest apple their new slogan it would be this:"try apple... It just works!"

    Many inaccuracies

    Many stereos have USB ports that will also charge android phones and play music off of it.
    DLNA in most Androids...
    Same. Micro usb cables are probably just as prevalent if not more so than apple cables.
    Many smart house systems have android apps also.

    is there DLNA in patio radio systems? nope. that is stricly a television feature, and unless you buy a tv with that it wont work.

    usb port radios cannot control the android phone thru the radio, like the radios with ipod docks, also iffy on whether or not they will charge the phone as the phone may require more energy than the radio is made to provide through that usb port
