Also, remember he ignores apps which are available on both systems. Since iOS was big before Android was, it stands to reason that many apps would have been developed for iOS and then not ported to Android. Whereas now Android is a huge market that most will want to develop for, but they're not going to stop developing for iOS - so I would expect a vast majority of apps to be on both platforms. Since there was never a time when Android had a large market but iOS didn', it not surprising that the only Android-exclusive Apps are ones that can't be done on iOS.

"Also, remember he ignores apps which are available on both systems." That seems reasonable, since the idea of a "killer app" could be defined as one whose existence leads you to pick the platform it's on over any other. If an app is available on both Android and iPhone, then it's not decisive. You can still choose either platform.

  The integration offered by some of the apps on android trumps those that exist on the iphone in my mind. Facebook, Twitter, and a 3rd party linkedin software i use integrate with my address book seamlessly, personally i find it a neat feature that my address book is populated with my friends social profile pictures, current status etc..
