Default Why Android?

Hi there!
Since it says "we are all friends here" I hope I am not going to be eaten alive when I ask my question: Why are you crazy about Android phones? I really have no idea, all I know is that it's from Google but other OSs allow the use of google service too, so...?

I have a Noika N78 right now and I am really interested in the Samsung Galaxy (i7500). I like the looks of it, the screen and just plain the GUI of android looks great.

BUT- the programs I use the most are (appearently) not supported by Android, or am I wrong?
-Mobireader (I use my offline wikipedia ll the time, even if I have to say that online is an option too now that I have a data flatrate)
-Mobireader for the Longman dictionary of contemporary English
-Some GPS turn by turn solution (AFAIK there is only one and you have to pay a monthly fee)
-Some sort of GPS tracking program like Nokia Sports Tracker

That's about it. Any input would be greatly appreaciated. I know that there is also the new Samsung Omnia HD which would propably work with my S60 programs but I realy like the look and feel of Android OS. What other advantages are there?

Thanks!
