They also talk about no split screen, which I did have on BR4. And after concentrating on the Apple platform for so long, OT says they are working on the Android platform (to get BR5 on it), but only God knows how long that will be

I'd recommend making a decision based on facts of what is now, not on speculation of what might be (good OR bad).
I have Olivetree on my iPad, Pandigital Novel (unlocked into a full Android tablet), and my G1 phone. Depending upon how you use Olivetree (or any of the other excellent Bible readers) the larger iPad may be of benefit.
I prefer the iPad simply because the larger screen allows me to see more scripture on the screen at any one time, and the screen size allows adding notes easily with the on-screen keyboard. Those 7" Android tablets are as limiting as a smartphone in that regard.
I find the Bible study software options for iOS to be more numerous and of a higher quality than what is available for Android. That's relatively speaking... the Android apps are fine.
The ESV Study Bible on iOS is a steal for $9.99 and looks and performs wonderfully. (it's not that price at the moment but they periodically have specials)
