I certainly don't speak for anyone other than myself, but I buy Android devices purposefully and pretty much for 2 reasons: #1 The Google ecosystem. I'm already committed to gmail, google voice and google calendar via multiple google apps accounts (my own personal gmail, plus a google apps work account). Being able to log into my google apps accounts once on the phone and have everything (contacts, events, voicemail system, market apps, etc) just magically sync up on all my devices is huge. No plugging the device in to a computer to sync everything up via "gTunes" or whatever... It Just Works. #2 Google Nav turn by turn directions. I wouldn't even consider buying a phone without a built-in turn by turn system as good as Google Nav these days. Other than those two things, all I ask for is a good web browser, which all of the platforms have these days. Everything else (market app selection) is totally optional (for me, YMMV of course).
