I love Android and use a Droid as my phone but I totally agree with you, theu really need to step up with their UI. It seems that they know this. They hired the lead designer for WebOS a while back and according to TechCrunch the next release after Froyo is all UI stuff: http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/16/android-team-laser-focused-on-the-user-experience-for-next-release/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/16/android-team-laser-focused-...

One can write good looking apps for Android. It's just not as easy as it is for iPhone. Having done both myself: on iPhone you can just throw together a bunch of default widgets to get the job done and your app will look pretty good. Doing the same on android.. not so much. However, the latest apps out of Google (IO Schedule, Twitter) are using some of android's new UI patters, and they look good. Hopefully these new designs will be reflected more in the widgets shipped with 2.3.
