just two?
fragmentation - building a single OS for all devices then having the vendors band-aid that os with inferior drivers isnt working out to well.
enterprise support out of the box - this ones self explanitory and until this is resolved android will never be looked at for more then a toy.
security flaws - the graph below will explain this. The main issue here is that there is almost no quality control of apps. anyone can create an app that on the front looks like a usefull app but in the background its sending personal information that could be used for not so nice reasons. Theres been over 50 apps pulled off the android market for this very reason.
polished market apps - very few android apps are polished... id say 90% or more look like they were hacked together by a highschool student.
battery life. - I should be able to have everything on wifi, bluetooth, GPS, 100% brighness all the time and not have to worry about my battery. The solution for android is to turn all that off and keep a charger or second battery with you at all times. I have everything on my iphone and i use the phone ALOT and have no issues getting 2 full days out of a single charge.
inability to use hardware effectively/efficiently - the phones are coming out with these crazy specs but aren't any faster then the previous gen phones.
this graph is only for 1 quarter... multiply this by 4 and you see the gravity of the problems.

I understand this. I don't like it either. But, how do these manufacturers differentiate themselves?

That's where the community comes handy. You've got a Linux background; I'm sure you could understand why there is a lack of hard core quality control (distribution not withstanding)

[B] it comes down to choice. That's why they've got pictures and reviews. I've seen what you're talking abou

It just doesn't seem fully developed. For those who own Android devices I'm sure you know what I mean. For example I don't like the desktop/mobile toggle. I would have rather seen user agent with the option to use more than one browser type. I do love the tabbed browsing! I'm sure as time goes by the developers will make Dolphin a great browser for iOS. Regardless, I'm still happy to see Dolphin on iOS
