I must admit, after watching Stammy use his Android day-to-day and proofreading this post, I am more tempted to try to use an Android as my main device from a consumer perspective. The seamless Google integration really is the killer feature. However, from a developer perspective, I'm still staunchly in the "I want to build on iOS" camp because of the Android fragmentation issue and because there still seems to be an overwhelming majority of consumer spend on the iOS app ecosystem compared to Android. The Google apps on iOS are really very nice (though admittedly not as nice as their Android counterparts), but the only Google app I really want at this point is a Calendar app. Syncing and manipulating Google Calendar events with the native iOS Calendar app is still pretty terrible.

I find it funny when developers don't make Android counter parts or do so in a half effort fashion and then complain that no one spends money on Android apps. If I could get the same apps on Android as iOS, my Android app spending would easily triple if not more. It isn't a lack of funds that keeps me from buying more. If a dev didn't bother to make it for Android, then he can't complain that no one bought it. The Google Play store is full of shovel ware right now. The fact that Android users spend less only reflects that. That isn't going to change until the offering changes. There are instances of Android sales producing higher margins then iOS. I'm surprised more folks don't notice that too. http://www.hatsproductions.com/blog/features/organ-trail-one-year-later/ http://www.hatsproductions.com/blog/features/organ-trail-one...
