Why a disaster? It's in fact thriving, for example I've backed 'Pocket tv' project and that's a device for 40+ inches screens. I think that this diversity is good, not bad. I've also developed one android app for a period of time and fiddled with some other concepts/demos. And for me at least, the experience was quite nice. I like many concepts (intents, services/activites, application hooks for common actions, ...) -> hadn't found it tedious at all.
