At the same time, some apps that I really want are exclusive to iOS. It seems that if developers decide that they have resources for only one platform, they decide to go iOS. |

Here is something a iOS developer wrote this morning after removing his free app from the iOS app store.
He refuses to develop for Android (something that frustrates me because I like his web-based product and it would work perfectly for my tablet). I consider it to be a bit of a myth. Quote:

It's only half of the market if a big enough part of it would pay him enough to reward the time and effort it would take to develop an Android version. He thinks not. Whether that is the truth or not, we will probably never know. |

Marco co-founded Tumblr, and left it recently to run Instapaper full time. I think he's shown pretty decent business sense so far in how he's handled both companies-and he does give his reasons (beyond the simple "I don't like xxx")

I own Android, iOS, Kindle, Nook, Sony, and reading apps for everything else. So I'm free to visit pretty much every forum here and slam away.

That link or poll does not discriminate or provides a detailed report. There are several free apps on both market that actually do the same or are basically the same but with different names or a made by different developers. Power widgets are a good example (on Android, of course)
For Os customization or Os feature function shortcuts, Android Market has more and better apps. Of course, it is strictly related to the way Android works. Games, magazines, news apps, I've found that iOs has better developed apps, even when some of them are free; I am assuming that has something to do with the time that iPad, which has a larger screen or was the 1st 10" tablet, has been already in the market. |

This article bemoans the lack of tablet-optimized apps for Honeycomb.
