Broken Android

"Why aren't there more apps for Android phones?"

Because the platform is fractured, the development tools are terrible and documentation doesn't match real-world experience.

About every six months I delve into Android development again, to try and get off the ground. But the sad truth is that it's just not ready yet. I would have thought things would have improved over the past two years, but Google just don't seem to be willing to draw developers to their platform and I've given up on them once again.

Android will remain nothing but a nice idea unless Google turn their ideas around. They may be nice phones but as a general platform they stink.
