Yes they do. If you've bought an app on the Android market, they have your credit card and the difference between buying a paid app and getting a free one is an extra click. They also have your credit card if you've bought anything from Google Checkout (which is what processes Android app payments). Impulse purchases are just as easy on both devices.
- k-mcgrady 15y agoIt's just as easy once you set it up. What I mean is for most people who buy an iOS device Apple already has their credit card details because of iTunes. All they need to do is type in a password to start making purchases. It is less likely that Google has your credit card info and you will have to set that up when you by an Android device. Apple also accept a wider range of card types. One of the most popular cards in the UK is Maestro (a Mastercard debit card). Google Checkout does not accept it which means fewer people using it.
