I thought this was important to note:
everyone knows that the piracy rates on Android are absurd and the fact that for some strange reason the average Android user doesn’t like to spend money on apps (even if it’s just 99 cents). On the iOS side piracy is a bit of a concern too, but less than on Android.
- saurik 14y agoThat paragraph wasn't even about RIM, and is largely due to those other products being targeted at mass consumer markets rather than business people. If there were large numbers of twelve year olds with BlackBerry's, you'd probably see more piracy on that platform (and you'd also learn much more about potential security holes in the platform ;P).
- slantyyz 14y agoEven with large numbers of twelve year olds with Blackberries, there'd still have to be apps that people want for piracy to occur.
- tjoff 14y agoHonestly I feel that google is to blame for this. By being so frustratingly slow to enable app purchases in the market in a lot of countries they kickstarted the need and community around pirating android apps.
