3GS and 4GS are only playing catch up, by the time 4GS and HD come along, Android is going to be so far ahead of the game. Its a no contest situation.

Apples development time is increasing. It took 6 months to duplicate the amount of apps it had available.
Android development time is duplicating every 3 months average.
By Feb-11 Android will have over 1 million apps and Apple will have only half as many.
IF the current trends continue, this is the future. That is a big if!
Regardless the amount of downloads and apps Apple has, its destined to become insignificant this year.
Its relevance and technology development cycle seem to be headed the same way. Unless Apple comes out with something HUGE!
Along with the advent of Android, streaming video and tethering have become a common thing. Like me last year, I see many people dropping their DSL service along with their cable service. It all comes through the cellphone now.
These trends show that Apple along with TimeWarner, AOL, and all major Cable companies are destined to extinction.
