The thing is the Android market is much bigger. Maybe history will repeat itself?
* Company makes a great innovative product on iOS
* Competitor gets to Android first, embracing the platform
* Company finally releases an half-assed Android port with iOS look and useless back buttons while Competitor is already established on Android
=> After the Android launch failure, Company publishes numbers comparing iOS and Android sales and claim "See, no profit to be done on Android!"
- gress 13y agoThe number of android devices is much bigger but because most of those devices are at the extreme low end, especially in tablets, the market for Android software and accessories is much smaller.
- wriq 13y agoHas this happened? It does make sense to me and seems like a good opportunity for a competitor but I can't think of a case where a very popular iOS app lost out to an android alternative.
