I save my documents to Drive and can access them from my OnePlus One, Nexus 7 and Chrome browsers. I can access my Google Play Music subscription from any of my devices.
This syncing has been available for a long time now.

You can carry a USB stick with all your documents too but that is completely different from what anyone is talking about when they say eco-system though. Yeah, I have dropbox too, but that's I don't think that's what pylon was referring to.
The way one can stream from any OSX or iOS device onto any apple TV or airplay device is fantastic and so simple my mother can usually figure it out. Any of my music or playlists on iTunes Match I can listen to at my buddy's place in about 30 seconds.
With iOS8 and the new OSX, I can now text right from my mac (which I could only formerly do with other iMessage users, and now, it's straight SMS). No secondary programs, no dinking around with drivers or buggy software that may work on a Sony laptop but not a Toshiba.
There's a lot of things I dislike with Apple, and a lot of people don't like being tied into said ecosystem for whatever reason, but for me it's certainly the reason I'll stick with them.
