Sure, but what use is it, when it does not work ? This may not happen with the Galaxy, but the web is full of android clients complaints about not properly accessing the market although their device has an official access to it. Or not being able to have 2 Gmail accounts on their phone (which is no problem at all with the iphone). This is laughable, really...And the Google customer service answers to those complaints is pathetic.

I am really not a big fan of closed system, but the iOS works and is very stable. Android crashed on me more than once (I was playing with it indeed, but what is the point of an open system if you are not supposed to tweak it ?). And I was not biased when I bought my Android device, I really knew the limits, and I also know that my device (Pocketbook IQ) cannot do much, but reading what other users say about Android on various forums made me realize that Android is just not there yet, and might not be for a while.

I am waiting for the ipad to be back in the shops near me (it is out of stock right now) but it does look like I am taking the plunge.
