But Angry Birds is making $1M/month on Android with ads. That's not a bad revenue stream. And you can do an ad-free version for $1.

- programminggeek 16y agoAngry Birds made a lot more than that on iOS before it ever went to Android. Name an Angry Birds like success story that started on Android. All the big apps start on iOS and are ported to Android later.

- kenjackson 16y agoiOS had a pretty big headstart. Read Scoble's recent post on some hot Android apps [1]. They're just now beginning to do high quality apps first on Android. Momentum has started to shift. It won't happen instantly, but it does appear to be happening.

The money quote: "But the most interesting set of companies is being built around smartphones and here, for the first time, Apple’s iOS doesn’t have the coolest apps. For instance, Innobell lets you add social apps to a phone call. Only on Android today. TekTrak gives you really great security. But mostly on Android today. And WalkBase lets you track your phone’s movement through wifi and assisted GPS patterns in the room. Again, only on Android because Apple and Microsoft don’t let WalkBase talk to the radios the way Android does."
- bockris 16y agoI don't know if it will ultimately be a huge success story but I think 'Cordy' http://www.cordythegame.com/ http://www.cordythegame.com/ is fantastic and is Android only. We bought the full version within a few minutes of playing the trial version.
- darrenkopp 16y agoit made more in one big bang, but the million dollars a month is consistent and predictable revenue stream.
