Given that Android was such a complete and utter ripoff of iOS I don't think a couple of features is much to point out. Lets put it in perspective here.

I think Android's great, but seriously, come on. There's homage and there's 'shit, touch phones rock, we need to completely copy iOS now!'. Which is exactly what Google did.

Android was obviously heavily inspired by iOS, but most of the new features in iOS 4 & 5 seem to have been borrowed in the other direction. The stuff Google is doing with live widgets and the status bar in 3.2 is advancing the state of the art and it would be a shame to see this kind of real innovation stamped out.

I think both are kind of a touch based ripoff of this: http://img.tfd.com/cde/_PROGMAN.GIF

Only WP7 seems to bring something really new to the mobile UI table.
