iphone OS has a head start on Android, no doubt its a great platform, but there is only one thing they are winning in. Games. Lack of decent hardware in early android days might have been the reason (not to mention lack of audience to sell the app to) but with new wave of android 2.0 phones hitting the market next year, it will attract big game studios and many people not interested in iphones.

Now as far as apps go, android apps are far better and more advanced than iphone apps due to openness of android OS. There is a lot of crap apps, yes, but this is because there is very little monitoring or moderating. This problem will go away itself when devs really start competing. Right now there is little to no competition since the platform is small. Also I would like to mention that Android is customizable out of the box, and Iphone isn't. And the amount of manufacturers now on android bandwagon having access to both android market, and the OS for free, just puts Apple back on the sideline from their manufacturers perspectives.
