Good on Rubin. Yes, one complaint about Android from me would be, because of the fragmentation I assume, the fact that the Play Store cannot even approach the iOS in terms of sheer application numbers. But that's mostly remedied with Aptoide.
I would think that since Google doesn't enforce the same policy as Apple when it comes to apps (like the "If it's still active after the app closes, i.e. a settings changes, then it won't be hosted in the App Store) that it would encourage development.
The biggest problem with Android OS is that it still keeps you in a box. Much bigger than Apple's cage, but a box nonetheless. When they release an OS that I won't have to Jailbreak/Root to have full control over, I will have no complaints. But I guess the biggest obstacle there is the service providers.
