Lol, 84% in what countries?
Looking at our web stats across our clients, android isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to iOS.
Having a large market share in third world countries who won't buy your app isn't much of a win.
- foreign-inc 12y agoHaving a large market share in third world countries who won't buy your app isn't much of a win. >> ask Whatsapp. :)
- striking 12y agoWhatsapp is really a special case, though. They cornered a market that's relatively unique. Third-world countries don't need another messaging app.
- stingraycharles 12y agoAnd from my experience here in Cambodia, everyone is using Facebook anyway. So it isn't a clear black and white "third world countries only use whatsapp" either. Also, there is a severe desire of everyone to buy an iPhone -- so they just lag behind a lot. You can buy a pre-jailbroken iPhone 4G for around $100 here.

They just have Android phones. Not sure if it is Google's win, users' win or OEM's that make the hardware's win. Kind of a mix perhaps.
