Re: State of the apps — iPhone: 10,000 apps, 300 million downloads. Android: 462 apps.

This article DOES NOT tell the full story ...

Yes you're correct Apple will be more popular than Android for a while but 10k to 462 is misleading

1. the thing that this articles completely misses is that Android has been in the market for 2 months .. while the Iphone has been in the market for MORE THAN TWO YEARS ...

so it's not 5 months vs 2 months ... it's more like 18 months vs 2 months ...

2. The Android Market has 462 FREE APPS .. once the market starts paying for apps .. there will be a lot mroe ... I have personally emailed a few Iphone developers of my interest and so far all of them have replied they're making a similar software for ANdroid... now granted it's only 5 apps.. but I urge others to do the same for apps that are of interest to them

With that said ... Iphone will be more popular than Android after these 18 months but not as bad as this article makes it seem...

i meant to say more than a year... hence the reasons I say 18 months vs 2 months... so that point is still valid.. .just because Apple didnt have an app store does not mean there weren't apps for it... My friend who has an IPhone had plenty of third party apps.. when he jailbroke his phone.. and a lot of these apps have been migrated to the app store..

I can't believe that you cover the IPHONE and you don't know that 3rd party apps existed before the app store..

Windows mobile has not opened SKY MARKET yet.. bu they have plenty of apps... u dont need an app store to have apps made for an OS

Re: iPhone Inspired Carrier-Switching — Can G1 Do The Same?

Of course not.. THe Android OS will be on each and everyone carrier... Verizon will eventually have to give in .. although they hate google... I"m on sprint right now.. I'm interested in the G1 but i know Sprint is next up for an Android phone.. so I'll wait...

This question is actually pretty stupid when you think about it..
