Depends which version you are talking about, and what kind of features you are talking about. Bluetooth support on Android is terrible, trust me, I've developed for it. Android is a far less secure OS, mainly because the iOS AppStore is so protective. The other problem with Android is that updates don't work across the board; I had to wait years for my HTC Hero to get updated from 1.6 to 2.1, and by the time the update was applied, 2.2 had been released.
In terms of jailbreaking, usually the Android "jailbreak" involves permanently unlocking the device, which the iOS version doesn't. You can revert an iOS jailbreak at any point, but this isn't possible for an Android jailbreak.
In short, both are good operating systems, but the advantages of Android are in the price (free) and the different types of app (regular, widget, etc). I don't really use widgets that often, and all my iOS updates are free, so I really don't mind the initial hardware cost.
