With Android you just customise your main screens with the things you want.
I tend to just use the Google search bar on the phone when I want to use an App that isn't on the home page(s), though.

Not sure if I could do it on my previous Android phones - don't think I ever tried.

Hmm, most of those I knew about and either don't use or find are pretty much on a Par with W7 equivalents.
Multitouch I don't really find that useful, certainly not on a desktop.

Time machine
Finder (previews etc)
iLife suite
Spaces/expose/whatever it's called now
Full screen apps
Multitouch gestures
I'm sure there's more, and some stuff that isn't so nice (I like that new snap to half screen thing in windows) but it's my favourite at the moment.

It seems to me that Apple moved towards using commodity PC hardware because of it's proven longevity as a platform. Perhaps if they had chosen Intel instead of PowerPC to replace the 68000 back in the day they wouldn't have spent so long in the wilderness.

With iOS you can drag on app over another to create a group into which other apps can be dropped, without creating separate shortcuts.
Not sure if I could do it on my previous Android phones - don't think I ever tried.

Such a simple obvious thing to provide. (You can create folders on the home screen and move shortcuts to folders, but that isn't what I want).
