Here's a question to those that know better than me:

I listened (regrettably) to the Engadget Podcast, and the anti-android sentiment was very apparent when talking about the Galaxy Tab. They went on, and on, about how Android isn't ready nor designed for 'tablets' (ie. larger than smartphone screens). They mentioned that the larger problem with Android is that it's 'rough around the edges'.

What did they mean by 'rough around the edges'?

I've used iOS devices, and had brief bouts with Android and WebOS, and from what I could tell, they all seem rather similar. There are no glaring flaws in either system from the users perspective.

I want to know if this viewpoint is ideologically motivated (eg. notions of 'fragmentation', tablet UI musings, frequency of OS releases, etc) or based on something experiential. If it is the former, then I'm confident that it's a flawed assertion as their demonstrated understanding of tech is embarrassingly poor. If it's the latter, I'm interested to know exactly what separates these platforms experientially.

Anyone with experience care to help?
