A dozen versions, sold by dozens of manufacturers. Android is so fragmented it's hard to actually consider it a single thing. It's like saying "4.5 million computers are sold every 3 days".

The iPad is one thing, made by one company, that comes in two sizes.

With different resolutions, different storage capabilities, different memorysizes and computational capacity. Some with mobile broadband, some without.

Which may be used with or without accessories such as a keyboard or stylus.

One thing indeed.

Why would a developer have to account for varying storage, mobile broadband, or Bluetooth accessories like a keyboard or stylus?

As for resolutions or RAM, I think we can all agree 2 is simpler than all.

Legitimate question: Aside from the obvious culprits (Android phones, tablets, Nooks, and Kindle Fires), what other devices are considered "Android" devices?
