Dear Fandroid,
Nobody cares. Owning % of phones is useless when people don't buy things on those phones, or in many cases use any of the advanced features at all.
Developing for android is a joke. Screen size variation, the absurd way it handles orientation changes. Awful.
Selling for android is a joke. I had a client, multi-billion $ company that couldn't stop some asshole in Russia from framing their standard mobile site into a app and putting an ad below it. That same asshole advertised it as the official app. Took months to resolve.
It all comes down to a quality vs quantity issue. Apple customers are $$$$ to developers, content creators etc. Android is practically worthless in comparison. The android software library is like those 10$ shareware CDs they used to sell at Compusa. At some point they need to have something beyond angry birds.
And the hardware...... a joke. When it's Apple vs the world they even of course know that in pure "installs" they cannot hold a lead with a proprietary system vs giveaway garbage. But one iphone customer is worth 20-30 android customers. And I think that's being conservative.
