Can you elaborate on the "...and more..." statement? They seem pretty equally functional to me as does a jailbroken iPhone and webOS for that matter. My wife has an android phone and I have played with it quite a bit, I'm not a huge fan but that's just my opinion...

The google voice recognition in the Android OS is unmatched. I surf the web with voice commands and rarely ever have to use the keyboard. The newest keyboards in Android all have speech to text functionality that works really really well and is awesome when you want to send a quick message on the road. The built in navigation is also quite amazing and also voice driven. Voice search applies to anything in the phone. You can search for pictures, programs, videos, websites and songs all by simply touching the voice search button. There's an app called iMusic that allows me to easily search and download songs straight to my phone for free, and music player called TuneWiki that automatically downloads album art for all songs stored in my phone as well as scrolling the lyrics for my songs karaoke style as they play. The Shazam music app works much better in Android than it ever did in WM There's are lots of little details that Android is capable of that I never had with Windows Mobile. I havent kept up with WM as much since I went to Android in November, but I'm pretty sure the voice recognition and specch to text is nowhere near like what Android has.
