Actually I think the correct statement is that iOS has such little fragmentation (in comparison to Android) that it is effectively zero.

Every developer can safely target iOS 5. With Android it is still 2.3.

Well that hasn't been our experience. We've dealt with many issues and we've had customers from 4.3 up to 6.0. Not to mention devices from 3GS and the original iPad up to the latest. I haven't done any Android applications yet but I can imagine it would be worse if you wanted to target a large base of users (I will be gaining that experience rather soon).
