One thing for sure: I won't be wasting my time developing apps for Android. I have no desire to develop for 10 different tablets each with slightly different configurations. Nor do I want to invest in buying that many tablets just to ensure my apps work on all of them.
But the main reason I won't develop for Android is I'm not about to gamble on an unproven market. There are too many tablets coming out. They can't all be successful. Maybe they'll all get a small piece of the market or maybe a couple will do really well while the others disappear. Regardless, I'm not getting in the middle of that mess. It's even worse with the TouchPad or PlayBook which run their own OS. I think they will do well on the business/enterprise market (especially the PlayBook because of QNX).
With the iPad I already have 15 million potential customers with easily another 15 million this year. Why would anyone want to develop for Android tablets, I don't know.

you have to purposely buy an Ipad to test out your own app?? Y didn't you get an iphone?...after all an Ipad is just a blown up version of an Iphone
