For example, useful as a compass and GPS are, unless you are connected to the Internet, they aren't all that helpful. I can navigate around my own house without external help, thanks.
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.
The GPS should work like a regular GPS if you are not on-line and there are Android apps that permit download of maps that remain local on the device. While getting a fix may not be immediate without the Internet or cell towers you should be able to use it the old fashion way.
