There are Android apps for all of that stuff.

That is because Android is an open OS. Anyone can write an Android ap.

Apple is a closed OS and if Steve Jobs didn't think you needed it, you
couldn't have it ... hence the jailbreak.

Well, you still may need "root access" to get the job done, and
jailbreaking is the Apple IOS equivalent of root access. Still, you are
correct in calling the Apple IOS a closed system and the challenges of
getting into it by finding the proper exploits and coming up with a
jailbreak are pretty heavy duty. I'm just glad a JB has been made
available by the iPhone IOS nerds.
