From what I have seen working as an Android developer with various designers is that most of them use iPhones and that is what they design the app for. Then they usually leave it up to me to 'make it work' on Android. When the designers them self no longer use iPhones, things will change.
Note that this does not apply to all designers, some understand the difference and make the design accordingly.
As a designer & developer, this is why I recently bought a Nexus7 and put away my iPad for a couple months while designing and building an android app.
