oooooh, fascinating. You're almost definitely wrong. But go ahead, what can you do on your iphone that you can't do on your android device. Does apple have turn by turn navigation yet? Can you program your phone to disable wifi connections upon arriving at a particular location? Can you program your phone to go silent when you put it face down on a table? Can you program your phone to automatically put the contents of a particular directory on a cloud drive (not just photos or music, but documents etc.). Can you tether? Do you have google latitude? Do you have widgets? Do you have the ability for your phone to immediately wirelessly sync playlist updates and new music downloads from your computer the moment you walk into the house?
Turn by Turn - Yes.
Wifi - the phone won't connect to anything unless told to.
Silent when face-down - no, but the phone has a physical mute switch that takes 1/10th of a second to click.
Contents of a directory on a cloud drive - no, but there's dropbox access and apps that use their own cloud services. And iCloud syncs all the default apps. When I got my new phone, I typed my login into it as I was leaving the store, and all my texts, docs, calendars, emails, contacts, and everything else were already in my phone by the time I got to the car.
Tether - been able to do that for two years now.
Latitude - yes
Widgets - not unless jailbroken.
Wireless sync - yes. It'll do it when you plug it into the charger. Don't forget that there's also iCloud which allows you to wirelessly access all your music from anywhere you have a data connection.
As for things not available on Android that are critical for me - the Adobe Nav series of apps that interact with Photoshop are amazing. Photosmith is an extremely useful program that allows me to sort and upload photos in the field without having to carry a laptop. I also have access to a huge array of hardware accessories that don't exist or are severely limited in availability on Android.
Sorry the Infiniti has an iPod-dedicated connector. Don't forget, though, that if it's a 2008, that means it was built before the first Android phone came out, which means it was conceived in a world in which the iPod had effectively zero competition among the market sector that would be buying a brand new Infiniti, and as I understand it, was actually the only device that would've been able to link directly to a car audio system at the time. (The USB protocol used for such systems now wasn't created until just a few years ago.)
Do you really think Apple controls what Sony, Logitech, car companies, or whoever else makes their products for? Companies make accessories that will sell. iPhones are premium phones that are popular with affluent people who are likely to buy nice cars and expensive accessories. They're easy to make accessories for because there's only one new phone and one major OS update a year. The vast majority of Android phones on the market are free or cheap phones owned by people who don't even buy apps, much less hardware, and the high-end phones change every three months, so it's not economical to make accessories when they'll be obsolete by the time they hit the store.
