A year ago I would have laughed at the final statement that people will dump their iPhones faster than Apple is ready for.
Today, after working with Android for a year, I could care less if I had an Android instead of my iPhone. In fact, I find myself carrying around my development device for various apps and usability reasons.
I'm over angry birds. I'm tired of seeing all the polished over-done games in the app store. I prefer the simple, indie games of Android, I like the personality of the Android Market, I like the browser on my Galaxy, etc, etc.
Side note. My kids do not. They think my Android games are stupid.
- marshray 16y agoI play Angry Birds on Android.
- rtaycher 16y agoI play it on my n900 as I curse Nokia(Zen bound demo is cool too, I might buy it).
- frozenflame 16y agoCan you recommend some of these games? I've been itching to try some new ones.
- megablast 16y agoDespite Android's popularity, people are not buying apps. The google app store is in danger now of getting people relying on free apps, so they may never be willing to buy apps. This is different to iPhone users. Of course, android app store may change as time goes on, and it gets new users, but the majority of apps in the android app store are free. Also, it is not "I could care less", that makes no sense. It is "I couldn't care less".
- bonch 16y agoI believe Google wants the Android Store to be full of free apps...that just happen to be supported by Google ads. Otherwise, Google doesn't get anything out of the Android platform.
- xiongchiamiov 16y agoOther than the 30% share of payment for paid apps in the Google Marketplace...
- dpcan 16y agoYes, people certainly ARE buying apps on Android.
