1155977 2010-11-23 22:23:00 What makes all of you here prefer Android over iOS?

I really am curious, as I tossed up between an iPhone 4 and a Galaxy S and ended up getting an iPhone 4.

Was it the right purchase? What can a phone such as the Galaxy S do with Android that iOS can't?

Should have also mentioned that a major deciding factor was the iPhone music app.

1155978 2010-11-23 22:25:00 I prefer the openness and flexibility of the Android marketplace, as well as the better integration with GMail / Google Apps / Google Maps etc, all tools that I use frequently. inphinity (7274)

What do you mean when you say "Openness and flexibility"?

What do you use instead? Is there an app for android that syncs all your music, videos and apps and has the marketplace as well?

I don't have to sync - Google does it. And if I want to add stuff onto the SD card, I plug it in to the PC and treat it as an external HDD...
