Golly, I bet if I build for Android I can get half of all the users in the USA to move to that platform too! That way everybody who has a smart phone could all use my app... Aww shucks, my app is a game for kids though and 90% of the youth are on an iPhone. Maybe though all I have to do is release it for Android and they'll all see what's really cool and come piling in!! Right? Let's get real though. I would have a better chance of getting to everybody if I lobby the government to force Apple to open up. The way I see it they shouldn't be allowed to decide for half the US or 90% of US youths that some app should or should not exist.

Do you have a source showing the distribution of that particular market? Not saying you're wrong, just that it sounds weird.
