The OS version and device format fragmentation is a bit of a red herring. Now admittedly, I've only developed a few simple apps for Android, but the framework really handled all of the differences between screen sizes, etc. for you. IMHO a bigger handycap for Android is the fragmentation of the end user experience. With iOS, you can by an iPhone, and iPod touch, and an iPad and they'll all have an identical UI. And when you upgrade to the next model of any of the three, you can count on still have a consistent UI and an easy, simple upgrade. Unfortunately with Android, moving from one Android device to another might involve significant UI changes. Compounding that is that none of the non-phone Android devices currently have access to the Android market, so you don't readily have access to all of your apps across all of your Android devices.
