1. My primary phone is a Nexus One, I switched from a first generation iPhone. I still have it but I'm not writing iPhone apps at the moment.
2. It's a free app so sales aren't a factor. I did get an email from somebody who liked it about 10 minutes after it popped up in the market, so there are at least some users out there.
3. The built-in widgets are fine for my purposes, although I only needed a few buttons and a text view. For testing I set up a bunch of virtual devices in the emulator with different screen sizes and OS versions, and I didn't have any problems. I was able to stick to Android's layout managers which do a decent job of adapting to different resolutions. (And I'll be interested to see how Apple deals with future higher-resolution devices, since most iPhone UIs use absolute pixels).
This is just a hobby for me so I have the luxury of focusing on what I enjoy more, which is Android by quite a bit. Of course if I had a plan for an app that I expected to make a lot of money, I'd have to go with the iPhone.
