jnjroach hit the nail on the head. If you go Google, stay with Android. Microsoft software side has done an amazing job ensuring their products are cross-platform. Sometimes to the chagrin of us WinFans: We are sometimes the last to get a new app or service or don't get it at all. The native WinPhone mail/calendar/people client does easily sync with a google account. I am forced to use google for the college I am attending and it is simple to get the account set up and syncing on the phone.
The app situation is kind of frustrating. However, the number of apps a platform has absolutely bas nothing to do with the quality of those apps or the platform. Having said that, there are a number of major apps that are missing on WinPho and there are some areas that are woefully missing. I cannot find a TV schedule app. And most anything having to do with the legal field sits on the apple platform. If handwriting recognition would be put back into WinPhone (it was awesome on WionMo) I think it would really push the platform ahead. That and reintroduce Bing Maps from WinMo 6.5 and the maps integration that Win7 had.
