Platform debates aside, I think the easy answer is to follow the money. iPhone users have a track record of spending money - the iTunes App store is a huge success. I have seen more stories of iPhone developers making scads of money than I have for Android. Having said that, that is a catch-22. The successes represent around 1% of all of the apps in the store. The one emerging problem with the iTunes App store, however, is discoverability. It is damned hard to get discovered within the iTunes App store. Clearly to be successful, you have to get a lot of good buzz outside of the App store.
