OK, I see. Well, first, iTunes isn't all that compelling for me (on
Windows) beyond the Music Store, which I don't use that much. I really
dislike iTunes, because I have frequent sync problems with my 3G iPod.
But that's neither here nor there, I guess.

Android doesn't come with anything for this "out of the box". You just
get the phone, and no desktop software. But DoubleTwist is a good
solution. Also, it's dead simple to just mount your Android phone as a
generic USB storage device. Finally, there's a plugin for iTunes to
let it work with Android phones:

I haven't used it, so I don't know how well it works.
