Depends on your goals
Buy hardware that has the desired functions now.

or

Buy hardware that may get the desired functions in the future.

In addition, you still have to criminalize yourself by jailbreaking your legally purchased iPhone to get full functionality beyond what Apple approves you for. (unless Apple fails to block the addition of the Iphone to the DMCA exceptions list)

I'm personally not rooting for either side of this one though. What the Iphone does do, it does very well but doesn't do what I need. The Android devices offer the open back end and a growing third party developer community but as someone else put so well "it is the most pleasant invasion of privacy" with how Google's services seamlessly wire themselves in. I shouldn't be mistaken for a bias promoter of either device.
