Hi everyone! This is my first forum post :)

I used to be a Windows Phone user since it was first released then I moved to iPhone since almost two years ago. I also have a BlackBerry. I've been watching Android from far away, I played with some but never owned one. I am considering to buy one to replace my iPhone but I have some concerns as follows:

1. Is there a default software for Syncing with desktop compared to iTunes?

2. What is the iCloud rival on Android?

3. How Apps gets updated on the device? is it via app store like iPhone?

4. What about firmware updates? Is it provided by each OEM separably or via Google/Android?

5. Dose any Android device work with Amazon eBooks? What is the link with Amazon since they have an Android based device?

6. Is there any virus threats on the Android OS?

7. Is there any issues with MS Outlook Exchange email? Capabilities, limitations and support? Can it sync also contacts and tasks?

9. I learned that there will be a Music store by Google, is it going to be restricted so some countries?

10. Can Double Twist player replace iTunes?

Thank you, I'm a newbie here so take it easy with me :p
