We'll have to just not agree on that. Android is no more open than iOS, and because you have all these homebrew distros it's messy from a dev standpoint.
My wife is still irritated with me I didn't "try harder" to talk her out of buying the Galaxy when I got my iPhone 4. Can't airplay to the Apple TV, can't play Netflix (or perhaps they finally added support). Can't play stuff out of my iTunes account on my computer. Retina display kicks Galaxy's keister around the park.
In all fairness if you don't have or want all the other Apple doo-dads then yeah, you are missing out on the synergy found within their walled-garden "ecosystem". In which case, yeah buy what fits you. For me I'm too far locked into Apple to bother backing out now.
In the past I have seriously considered the Galaxy S series and also the Moto Droid-X/X2 series. I think they are on top of the heap in the Android market.
