Win mobile 7 has a shot too, as a new kid, but got a serious black eye on their first update roll-out "bricking" some phone.

I disagree, though I do know what you are saying. Apple's ecosystem is not only one its biggest attractions but also one of its biggest detractors as well.
That is the #1 reason I won't get an apple product. I llike the open ecosystem for example
My Droid supports DLNA meaning your can share your media (video's, pictures etc) with mulitple devices despite brand, I have a moto phone, an HP Laptop, a Samsung HDTV and a panasonic Blu ray and I can share with all these devices. with apple you need iTunes adn apple devices
I like to download movies from wherevery, Amazon,digital copies etc, and keep it for whatever device i want to share it on. Again Apple video downloads on Apple products
I have an iTunes account and Amazon adn Walmart Mp3 account. I use WMP as default downloader and have MediaMonkey for scanning WMP and I use it for all music management.
IOW's its the freedom to go and buy music, videos, apps etc where YOU want and store them where YOU want to.
