I think it's really hard to call one store "better" than the other. I'm an App Store developer, but I can see advantages to both: App Store: Far more apps (and thus a stronger platform, attracts more users, attracts more developers). The review process generally controls quality (ignoring taste, for example fart apps), in the sense of no virus or battery drainers or network abusers or completely unusable apps. This is a plus and I think it's severely under-appreciated. Android: No review process means you can potentially get any kind of app. Alternative app stores (or you can download right from the web). Ever-improving number of apps in the store (it's lagging behind App Store but quickly catching up). So it really depends on what you're after and what you value. I don't think it's really fair to for the article to call one store "better" than the other.
