I agree with your assertion that making an app specific to one platform, even one as popular as the iPad can be a recipe for disaster.
And that's even before you get to the point that several people who have been friendly to Apple for all these years, like me, are probably going to start looking elsewhere now that they're actively complicit in helping Murdoch infest the media.
At least whatever decent Android tablet that eventually emerges is unlikely to have a manufacturer who gets involved in producing such questionable content. People will have a choice to participate in such things, but the rest of us can know that the manufacturer of the device can have a bit of a clear conscience, having merely provided a platform and not the offending applications themselves.
