iOS gives you direct hardware access to the device so you can do photo editing, video editing, music production, high resolution high frame rate gaming, and dozens of other device-local tasks. How does a series of glorified web browser Googlebooks compete with that?

Pickle Boots. (I can say two words one after another too.)

Does a technology exist if nobody writes anything for it?

No one has written the next Photoshop yet, but the apps that need NaCl are using it. The SSH client, for example, which works great and actually lets me get a lot of work done from my Chromebook without even turning on developer mode.

You can do all of that on Android (assuming they've fixed the audio latency issues on 4.3 as they promised).

Unification of the two OS's keeps getting rumoured, but never happens.
