The problem with shipping broken features is that there is no pressure to fix them. It's much easier to add new features than to fix existing features. Every time there's an update to Android, there's a huge list of neat new things in that release. On the other hand, I've never seen a list of things that didn't work quite well in earlier versions or were a bit janky or a bit confusing or inconsistent or user-unfriendly or complicated, but are now fixed.
Google tries to improve Android by constantly adding new stuff. That's exciting to people like us, but it will never turn Android into something that is as consistent and polished as iOS. The things that bothered me in Android 1.6 are still mostly there in 2.2.
