The market research puts Android in fourth place, after Nokia, RIM and Apple.
Even so, I can't even sell on Android market because I don't live in one of the approved countries.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoIf the market is the US, and we consider just current sales, then Android beat Apple this month.

The market is not that compelling; it's hard to search and it's hard to read real reviews on your phone, so most people that actually need some software are just going to Google for what they need. The market mostly benefits developers of paid fart apps.
- elblanco 16y agoI usually search the web for Android apps anyways. It's just faster than hunting through a store.
- jrockway 16y agoExactly. Apple's App Store is great for impulse buys, control, and marketing. But as a user, none of that is good for you.
- blub 16y agoThe fact that I don't have to worry myself with payment processing makes it worthwhile. Even before appstores, the most popular way to get software for a PDA/Smarthphone was with dedicated store sites, with the important difference that they bled you dry for cash.
