I dunno if you're just trying to compile a list of things that Android does that IOS doesn't, but there's really no point. There's a zillion of them. Apple is concerned with a select list of basic functionality and making the experience as smooth as possible. Android is more about allowing everything and anything and enabling users and developers to figure out what they want.
You guys know me, I'm a hard core techie. I used Windows based phones for years before I picked up an iPhone 3GS. I really WANTED to hate the iPhone.... but I can't. It's a great device for what it does. Mine is of course jailbroken, but it is what it is and you just have to accept that going in. About 6 months back I replaced my wife's RAZR with an iPhone4, she didn't really want it but now she can't live without it. I could have gone Android but for a non-techie like her, it was really a no brainer.
Basically you have two different OS that are geared toward two different mindsets. To me, it's like trying to compare apples and oranges. Neither is the best at everything, each has advantages in certain areas, you just have to decide which you can live with. For me, I'm still IOS 4.x on my 3GS. I haven't seen anything out there that makes me go I HAVE TO HAVE THAT, so I'll be using this for a while. It used to be I'd get a new phone the day something was released (IE, HTC Tilt, HTC Kaiser, etc).... sometimes the Samsung Galaxy S2 calls to me, but not that loudly.
Ironically I'm pretty much just like you Rob. It's just that every day I find something I can't do that I need to do, or would like to do, that I can't, on my iPad or iPhone or iPod Touch, much to my chagrin.
I too have an older jailbroken iPhone that I use as an iPod Touch...it has springboard crashes every time I power it on, runs super slow..so jailbreaking is not really a great option, but at least it is an option for some.
Android is not perfect, but I can make it do everything I need it to do. I'm impartial to phone platforms, but I do care very much about having features / functions that are productive and useful.
It sickens me when I visit Macrumors.org and hear the hype about how great this device is, and how nothing else can touch it...
Apple giveth and Apple taketh away too, which is almost intolerable. On the iPod Touch with iOS 5, there is no way to see or display the battery %. It used to be there on iOS 4...why is it not there on iOS 5? Just doesn't make sense. The fact it's a closed wall garden means you pretty much can't do crap with it.
End of the day I just want my devices to work, with some basic features that I think should be there. The fact almost every day I find some limitation or lack of capability on my Apple devices just irritates me.
When I see the unfettered Apple worship outside of Macrumors, I feel like people should be educated that there is a lot of hype, about these mythical devices that have a ton of basic flaws. As a long time user of Android and iOS, I know for a fact that Android is far superior to the iOS devices. I wish Apple would open up more, or at least be more competitive with its features. It just finally got a decent notification system for goodness sake.
PS Rob - get the Galaxy Nexus if you're on Verizon...I'm drooling at that phone. Ice Cream Sandwich OS is simply amazing, the best yet. These days when I see other people rocking an iPhone 4S like I do, I nod in kind sympathy, feeling a bit sorry for us both. Just like I used to when I saw my fellow co-workers carrying a BlackBerry, before we dumped that piece of junk.
Oh, and don't get me started on what a PIECE OF JUNK the iPhone calendar is. The Blackberry Calendar was light years ahead of the iPhone in that area...shockingly bad on the iPhone... *sigh*
