Agreed - also e) you need a Mac to develop for iOS - you can code for Android on a much wider range of platforms, f) Java is a more widely-known language than Objective-C.
The barrier to entry for hobbyist programming on Android is lower than that for iOS, so I'd definitely expect Android to have a larger cohort of hobbyists.
