You shouldn't have to hack your phone to get basic functions out of it though, or download apps to have some sort of multitasking. I look at it like this, in the Android market there is an NES emulator, a SNES emulator, Genesis emulator, and other emulators. I don't have to have my phone rooted or have a custom rom for these emulators to work. Iphone, jailbreak it to get these emulators. If I wanted to, I could write an app for android and have it put on the android market at no cost. Iphone, I have to buy the software and the app has to be approved to be on their app store. Google is all good if you want to root your phone, they encourage it. Apple on the other hand, used to brick phones that were jailbroken. The only thing iphone has over stock android, is multi touch. But, there are other alternatives that are way better than the Iphone that have multi touch. Web OS I would argue is one of the best smart phone OS out there. Easy and great multitasking, smooth, and can do a lot easily. Web OS multitasking, card system. Switch between cards and have your programs running. Iphone, exit out of a game or so to check something on the Web. Web OS, switch cards and not have to close your game or web browser. Android, in my case as I'm not sure what it's like on other android phones, hold the home button. But you also know that Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple, and if Apple wanted to they can void any type of warranty on it? Where as with Android phones, unless dictated by the provider, you can put on custom roms and still have your phone covered.
Quit acting like Android phones have something magical other phones dont, they do not. You get mad at iPhone people for thinking that about their phones. pot, meet kettle.
