When they've discussed Android in the past year or so, Apple execs like Cook and Schiller seem to have focused on two areas where they feel iOS has an advantage over Android: - Android lacks many decent tablet applications; most of them are blown-up phone versions. - The Android ecosystem is fragmented. Very few devices (proportionally) are running the latest release, and it can take years for new features to be widespread enough that developers can rely on them and users can benefit from them. The technological (OTA "delta" updates) and marketing push around major and minor releases appear designed to reinforce the second point. I'm not endorsing either of these claims, since I don't use Android devices enough to know.
