We do develop for Android and iOs at work. We have very good developers but one thing that we noticed is that Apple does not publish your app immediately, while Google takes almost no time (same day or so) I've been told that there is human being intervention on new Apple apps. This is in order to bring more quality and a uniform experience across devices.
Again, I have Android devices so I am an Android fan too, but you can see the difference in some applications when you use them on an iPad vs the Android counterpart.
Also, developers do not have to worry (on iPads) about screen sizes, resolution and so on, because they are pretty much consistent. On the other hand, Google tablets can have "n" sizes and "m" variations of Android. So it's harder to develop a consistent and fluid experience when the hardware is so different among devices.
