He does however love the "drag and drop" to add new songs; and that with his other Android buddies they can just swap songs back and forth.
We use "Find my Friends" within our family, so that would be missed a little for sure. Even just checking to see each others progress on commutes without bugging them is handy.

Skype is a good alternative for FaceTime. Although not integrated into the OS, I don't do a lot of video calling anyway. And whoever I know who uses Facetime also uses Skype.

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm starting to make a mental checklist of things that I might miss by switching over, and potential alternatives.
