iOS only has all the apps first and more features as it easier to code for whereas Android is harder due to the larger amount of different devices.

I somehow doubt that they will start bring more of the iOS stuff to Android anytime soon

Thought HDMI was the reason for it not coming out on the nexus 10, seems I was wrong. Its planned to be out for N 10 in 2013 but that doesnt tell you much.
