Any other thoughts that may help differentiate between the two?
Also don't entirely neglect non-soaring aviation apps. *For example, several
apps will give you in-cockpit weather radar. *(Yes, connectivity in flight is
questionable, but at least you get a last-minute picture before launch.)

Definitely prefer android. In addition to the ones already named,
Google My Tracks and GPS logbooks are interesting.
If you only want to use one device for phone and flight computer than
yes, Android is your best bet. However I rather have a dedicated
device for flight computer and not use it for day to day as a phone
(less chance of loosing, damaging, forgetting, having to use your
flight computer for an important phone call or text message in flight
etc). In this case iphone is my preferred choice for anything else
than flight computer. Also you want a bigger screen for flight
computer (5" like the Dell Streak seem to be ideal) but it is too big
and bulky for a phone.
