When it comes to tablet apps, iPad vs. Android comparisons spark spirited debate. In terms of apps for developers, Android tablet apps are more often free -- and more often less polished. That said, there are plenty of apps that developers will find handy when working on their Android tablets.
While Android takes a lot of flack for "fragmentation," in many ways it is now less fragmented than iOS from the viewpoint of a developer. It's straightforward to create a single Android app that will work properly on a large range of devices, measured in OS level, CPU power, available memory, and device size. On iOS, developers often find themselves writing separate iPhone and iPad apps to optimize both.
