The three top areas where/why I think Android is superior to iOS:
#3 Notifications
Apple really has to fix them in iOS6... currently they are just laughable.
#2 Widgets
Yes, a lot of widgets are just noise, but many are really helpful, like tasks, calendar, clock, ... maybe messaging and/or email inbox even (although I don't use that)
and
<drumroll/>
#1 the Share Intent
This is what you usually see in an app as the "Sent to" or "Share" menu item or button.
Just take the example of Read-It-Later (or pocket as it is now called). On iOS you have to install a bookmark-let and manually edit the URL (which cannot really be considered user friendly), and then it is still clumsy. On Android the application just declares that it is capable of receiving URLs and voila, it will be in the list. And it can be done from any application that allows to share.
Or Dropbox, or ...
This is really the thing I miss most on my iPad.
