That is an overstatement. This was true in the beginning for the honeycomb sdk, but as you can easily develop against hardware this isn't an issue anymore.

The Android 2.2 and 2.3 Emulators are atleast on my machine fast enough for development, but i still prefer to develop against hardware just because it feels faster and more real. Multi-Touch is easier...

Even on iOS it's better to develop against actual hardware than the simulator, therefor it's not really that much of an issue.
