If i download an app make use of it I will go and buy the app via itunes so I get all the updates and to support the developer.

Imagine trying that in your local shop. Just walk out with something, then go back to pay for it if you like it

I think you'll find that most people do not suggest running an un-patched OS of any varient, sever, desktop, *nix or windows...

Its funny, but pretty much everything Hindle wrote about there are things you can do with Android from the off... Can even test an app, you can return within 24 hours after purchase.

Oh the freedom.

But that is for another argument...

^^ i know that greek but i enjoy it doing all the cracks n stuff. and plus when i walk upto other people and they have got crappy standard ipads/phones/pods . pull mine out and they are like WTF how did you get it to look like that n do that and this n that n blah blah blah.
with android anyone can do it so doesn't make your device unique from the rest

I dont think there is much argument they are both excellent OS's and pieces of kit. it just comes down to which one you pref. but I bet there isn't many things you android can do that my iphone can't.

how are the games on the android market these days are there more big developers joining in yet?

I didn't say don't patch it but the automatic updates install a load of crap you don't need or want without telling you.

Set the updates to manual then only install the critical updates.

I can develop my own apps without paying Apple for the privilege, and I can redistribute them WITHOUT the other person having to Root/Jailbreak their phone.

I can also use Flash based apps and websites.

Also EVERYTHING can be synced with Google (ok so thats a bit of a can of worms) but if anything happens to my phone, all my contacts, emails, SMS's etc are being backed up pretty much real time.

Games are fine. I have emulators for almost everything upto PS1... I don't play them often though as im not that bothered about mobile gaming, im an FPS person so I use my PC or even sometimes the 360...

Incase you really do want to know about how gaming is goin on Android, its steadily getting better, Rovio is onboard now and supposedly done well so far with Angry Birds, so that might make others think Android is a worth while platform to develop for.

As for general Apps there is probably very little you can get that I cant and vice-versa.

The main advantage IOS has over Android is not the iPhone, its the iPod, without that the iPhone wouldn't have got anywhere near where it is now in terms of Games and Apps. If Android in the future is made into a iPod style mobile game device then there is every chance that it will take off really big with the casual gaming. It will anyway but with the smaller number of users will take a little longer. Where android holds the advantage is its better comparability, it appears to be reasonably simple for people to make a multi platform game, so we will see similar things soon to what we see in the console gaming market, that is man multi platform devs.

There are a couple of thing im pretty sure you cant do even with jail break? Widgets? multitasking? I know you have a sort of Multitasking but it still seems to be more a list of recent apps than actual multitasking.
