Two exceptions: Audio latency. It is impossible to write certain classes of table applications for Android right now, because no priority was given to having a low-latency audio subsystem. Its at least as big a mess as display acceleration.

Any Android users out there that want to see Android succeed should star the issue linked in the parent comment. There are a significant number of excellent music/audio apps for musicians and tinkerers for iOS that are not possible on Android because of the above issue. For example, search YouTube for "EveryDay Looper".
