#2Don't care. There are multiple phones running Android, unlike the Palm Pre and iPhone.

#3He's wrong about the lack of HD Youtube videos. It's not on by default; you have to enable it in the menu, but the functionality is there.

#4I'm not sure what he means by "AS A PRODUCT." If it had failed in the areas he praised but succeeded in the areas he slams would it still have failed? Is this just a list of cons?

#5I think his problem with websites was a simple matter of screen size. On my Android phone, the right navigation wraps, because there's no room for it otherwise. On the much bigger screen of my Archos 5 media player (Android also), it displays fine -- it looks like it does on my desktop.
Turn the text size down, and things are fine on both.
Also, what does Twidroid Pro not do that anything on the iPhone does? I can post photoblog entries to Twitter and Posterous right from the home screen and I can go into the app to see messages from people I follow. I get a background notification when someone direct messages me or says my name. It also supports multiple accounts and multiple providers.
I am not sure what more anyone could want.
I think he just like to whine.

Well Mr. Scoble, we already won the server farms, and it just a matter of several years until Desktops, Mobile Phone and Netbooks would all be running Open Source Operating Systems.
