Piracy - it's probably better to make free, ad-supported apps. Fragmentation. What you're able to do as a seller depends on the country you live in. The Android store is terrible (from what I've read and heard). General discoverability - Apple does a fine job of promoting apps. Messed up rules that will ruin your entire business[1]. Google's "Don't be evil" is bull[2].
It's my impression that iOS developers make more money - although cross-platform development can be considered.
I am probably never going to own an Android phone, so I won't be developing apps for myself which makes development too artificial.
This blog post has made me consider looking into Palm/WebOS, though.
