The only point I really care to make with my list is that Android's app offerings do not lack superb content, no matter how much other catalogs may have. Does Android appear to suffer in comparison to iTunes? Maybe, but that doesn't stop me in any meaningful fashion from finding apps I love on my Droid.
- tptacek 16y agoThen the only point you care to make is orthogonal to Gruber's question. He's asking, where are the apps that: * Are standouts, * Are exclusive to the Android platform, * Have high production values, and * Aren't system enhancements. You're entitled to say "that's a dumb question", but you can't claim to answer the question by rejecting it.
- mithaler 16y agoThat's a great point, and it really gets at the heart of the difference in design goals between iOS and Android. 'Course, I would argue that all of the listed apps fit all four of those criteria (even if some of their features exist in other apps on iOS), but I'll admit there's some room for disagreement there. ;)
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoIt's not a dumb question, it's a fairly clever attempt at framing. Why should we dignify such a frame by accepting it? The only sensible answer is "I don't care if my apps are platform exclusives" or similar.
