Android is not 'technically a better operating system'.
The hardware is often (much) more leading edge, but that's only one facet of 'better' and it has little to do with the Android OS.
I don't define myself by my iPod touch any more than my wife defines herself by her Samsung. Perhaps others define me by it -- but that (to me) is too close to stereotyping.

Not me. Best tool for the job.
I like some of the things Android frees you up to do -- like the getting alerts on your desktop thing I posted this morning. I just wish I could get the equivalent of the Touch with something like the screensize of a Droid.
When the price
on this drops <$200 I'm in (w/o activating it).
