    I would venture to guess that if you're going to develop a mobile app, you know what to expect from Apple because it's one OS on two more-or-less identical platforms (if it follows that the iPad is really just an over-large iPhone.)

    With Android, on the other hand, you're dealing with one OS that is installed on loads of hardware with different configurations, and tweaked accordingly. I can only imagine it creates a pretty big headache for Android app developers, if the their goal is cross-platform compatibility (interesting that this term/notion is a recurring theme in digital since the 1990s ... ).
