The better camera is clearly more useful, but then there are probably more photo related apps in the App Store (dunno, for sure, though).
I like the idea of FM radio most of all, (never understood why Apple didn't put in iPods till the nano), but then iTunes has that huge podcast selection.
Then there are all those IOs games.
The Galaxy player is definitetely worth a look though.

Specs: the Galaxy's specs are last year's specs; but since Apple didn't bother to upgrade the touch's specs, it looks like those specs get another year of being current.
Ecosystem: Android more than satisfies my needs.
GPS: Samsung uses a stand alone GPS that doesn't need the internet.
Camera: my need for a better camera revolves around location and identification apps that require AF and a res above 2MP - photos are irrelevant to me.
Games: there are more than enough Android games for me.
