Convert me

Hello
I've been an iPhone 3Gs user for the past couple of years. Love my phone, considering an upgrade to a 4S. But I also checked out the Galaxy SII and SII Skyrocket and I'm pretty impressed. Love the screens on those.

But I'm most concerned about syncing. I'm a mac user and I love being able to sync all my playlists, podcasts, phone images and contacts with one button in itunes.

I've seen doubletwist, songbird and winamp for android and it seems like people have problems with those Plus they only seem to work with music, not podcasts, images and contacts.

I'm also concerend about the support for new versions of Android on these devices. Samsumg seems to make a billion different phones every years, I'm a little scared samsung is just going to say "that phone is outdated, no more support/OS upgrades within the next couple years."

Can I hook up an external mic to the phone when recording 1080p video?

What resolution is the video recording from the front facing camera? The iPhone only does VGA which kinda sucks. I'd like something I can do video blogs with where I can see myself.

Last but certainly not least, I use my iphone headphones all the time. Phone calls, voice memos when I'm driving, music(volume and tracking), etc. I like that they are earbuds but not the annoying kind that block out sound from outside. But I've been through 3 pair in the last two years. Do either of these phones come with headphones like this? If not are they available somewhere?

Honestly the perfect phone for me would be a 4S with a 4.3" AMOLED screen and widgets. But that's not happening so I'm willing to try something new. My contract with AT&T just ended last week. But I'm very hesitant about Android as cool as I think the screens are. So I need some convincing.

Thanks
