I'd like to see a separate chart of paid download comparisons. My bet is iOS dwarfs Android where it counts.

  for how long ?

    I don't see Android overtaking iOS paid downloads anytime soon. The customer core is much different (I'm talking average Joe) and the Android market is a cluster... for many reasons. This might change with the Kindle Fire though, and I actually expect that market to grow very quickly. Question is, does that count?

  Probably because there are more free or ad-supported apps on Android then on iOS ;) It's like 2/3 of Android apps are free, where as only 1/3 of iOS apps are free: https://www.mylookout.com/appgenome/ https://www.mylookout.com/appgenome/

    Because the app economy on the Android market doesn't support it.

      What do you mean by that?

        I think nhangen means the Apple community is more "first world".

  iphone lost against android in every conceivable category, and you suggest one more and you will see ios or iwhatever will lose again.
