There actually are Android User Interface Guidelines, albeit less comprehensive than Apple's equivalent: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/index.html http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/i... ... but it is certainly true that there is no review or enforcement mechanism in place to help developers conform to these guidelines.

It's also just that Android is an immature platform. Apple has no way of enforcing its UX guildelines on OS X apps, but yet most applications are at least pretty close. (well, mostly)

  Could also be a matter of developer cultures.

    I think that is a fair reason for the current state of Mac applications, as theirs is a cultured built over many years between a relatively small number of people. But the iPhone has brought a hoard of developers who are new to the platform, so I find it hard to believe that a real, distinct culture has formed yet when compared to Android developers.
