[X4U] iPhone vs Android for Mac users, and iPhone 5 soon?

[Allan Rube]

For music, photos, video, you just hook the phone to the mac and you 
select use as a disk drive. Then I just drag items from my hard drive to 
the phone's sd card. I keep a file copy of what is on the phone on my 
hard drive. I use gmail and have my gmail mail, contacts, and calendar 
sync (seemlessly) between my gmail account and phone. I have one non 
gmail address and for simplicity I have that forwarded to a gmail 
account which then comes to my phone.
Neither the Android nor Apple mail on phones is that great. :)

On my Mac I use Thunderbird which also syncs contacts, mail, and 
calendar with my gmail account.

Allan, since you use a Mac and an Android phone, do you exchange data with your phone - iCal, Address Book, etc, and how well does that work for you? Do you use an intermediary, like a Google account to do so?
