Google has nothing to do with this topic, but for what it is worth Android syncs all (if not almost all) Google related data from Android devices.

If you have a Picasa account Android comes with a sync adapter which seamlessly syncs photos to all your Android devices and PC's with Picasa.

What advantage does iCloud have over this for photos?

Android also syncs Google docs, browser/Chrome data, contacts, calendar... The only thing I can think of that Google doesn't sync (yet) is files.

Oh, for first-party stuff, iCloud has no advantage. It's for _third_ party stuff that it's valuable; it allows developers to sync _their_ data seamlessly between devices easily.

Yep, that is definitely leg up for iCloud I hadn't considered.

Developers can write their own sync adapters on Android, but they would need to run their own servers (or find storage) and complications start to add up from there.
