‘There is actually quite a bit of data that suggests the Android Market will surpass Apple’s AppStore in size, this year. That would give Android the most apps; and since most of the “best” apps for iPhone exist on Android as well, that would be a push.’
Shallow analysis, and incorrect. Quantity (as I pointed out above) absolutely does not equal quality.
You should look into the complaints from Android developers that the lack of a consistent hardware specification has hurt the user experience in many cases.
You may love or hate Apple, but that fault is not an issue with the iPlatform. :-)
(PS you get honorary points for the nearest to a realtime conversation I’ve had yet on FR.) lol
Hmmm... Can you point me to which "quality" app is available on the iPhone that is not available on an Android Smartphone?
Quantity - I think we can agree - is a given. They're about the same (which is to say, probably 5 times as big as needed).

Sure! You'll hear the same in the PC world as well, since platforms are even more diverse...
Of course, you also hear complaints in the iOS developer world about the lock-down, the unilateral rejections, and the lack of support tools, too. It's not just Android devs that whine - iOS devs whine as well. In fact, being a software programmer myself, you'll find it a universal truth that ALL devs like to whine...;)
