For @rastard and @sb. The party is finally over for Apple. It was inevitable that Android’s superiority would cause developers to leave for greener pastures. Sell now.
Funny. Even funnier, now I am apparently being lumped in with rastard as a pro-android zealot. A case of “if you ain’t with us, you’re agin us”.

Thing with the Android app development is that Android users are are not spenders. Developers for the same amount of work make much less developing for Android than by developing for iPhone. Apple users are usually well off and willing to pay more for a good product. It is much better demographic group for commercial success. It’s kind of Nordstrom/Wallmart equation. Android is going for volume and cheap where Apple is going for smaller more targeted group that is better off and can spend easier. So even if numbers are bigger for Android it doesn’t mean much in sales as Android must sell more of everything to earn the same amount as Apple does with smaller volumes. Also, if you read “10 Billion Android Applications Downloaded Means Nothing” at Forbes, you can see that Android numbers aren’t that clear either. Google is not stupid but I believe they stretched themselves too wide going into the Android and they will eventually pay for it.
