"Believe it or not, we started work on the iPlayer radio app for Android on the same day as the one for the iPhone, but we’re still resolving a number of issues [...] That worked out of the box on Apple, but not on Android."
writing a program so it runs cross platform on ~800 devices and ~100 different operating systems is more work than writing a software for a single device and software.
Android is defragmenting the market, because it allows you to write a single software for both samsung touchwiz and htc sense.
iOS is fragmenting the market because you have to write a seperate app for it.
The fragmentation complaint makes no sense, because Android did not spawn all those different devices. Android just allows you to target all of them with the same code.
