Will Android tablets actually pose a threat to the iPad? Not this year, says Flipboard CEO Mike McCue.

McCue thinks Android still has to work out a few kinks for tablets before it can challenge Apple.

He would know. As a developer of a popular iPad app, he's taken a look at what Google has to offer. For now, he's going to focus on iOS.

This is what I've been saying all along. Android right now is a promise--especially as a tablet. Flipboard is basically in the top three "must have" tablet applications, and they have no intention of going to Android any time soon.

The cite it just not being ready.

I've handled a few Android-based tablets and within 10 seconds I knew this was the case. I picked up the Xoom and when getting ready to enter text into Google the cursor didn't even fit inside the text box. It was like hanging on for dear life at the bottom of the text box border.

It looked and felt like a mockup project--like a proof of concept. The idea that it's a competitor--let alone an equal--to iPad right now is simply comical.

To those who would still argue this point, I'll make some concessions: if you don't care how things look, feel, or if the top developers are developing for your platform, and you can't stand the idea of having an Apple device...I'd say an Android tablet might be for you.
