Apple / Google
Apple's iPod legacy lives on here, and the music and video functions on iOS are better than ever — and certainly better than Android. The iPhone is still a world-class media device — and the fact that every cool new streaming or music discovery service tends to come out on iOS first can't hurt. iTunes Radio adds to that advantage, too, though you have to be a paying customer to avoid the ads. Android, unfortunately, lags behind somewhat. Google Music has improved a ton since its clunky early releases, and it's perfectly usable, but the ease and intuitive operation of Apple's devices still eludes its developers. On the other hand, the super-easy backup and mirroring of your local music is a handy feature for anyone still using local media rather than streaming. And one more point in Google's favor, in video: Android supports more formats out of the box, though you'll be using apps on either platform if you want to play anything more obscure, like FLAC or MKV files.
