I believe Market's app count will exceed iPhone's app count sometime in the future (assuming Android gets any degree of success - which it probably will), as the platform is much more accessible to developers for a variety of reasons (development on Windows, Linux, and OSX, only $25 for developer registration, and no ambiguous app approval process) and by year's end it'll be available on several handsets.]]>Mar 11th 2009 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 12th 2009 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 12th 2009 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/
Android is slower to take off because it's currently limited to the G1, which obviously hasn't had anywhere near the kind of market penetration that the iPhone has. It's on a smaller carrier and it doesn't have the backing of a company with the kind of following that Apple has.

As more handsets trickle out onto the market on larger carriers, Android's popularity will continue to grow. It is definitely more accessable to developers (I know dozens of brilliant developers, and NONE of them own a macintosh computer), but until the end-user market is there it just won't be as lucritive to develop for. I'm confident it will get there eventually, we're just waiting on a larger handset selection.]]>Mar 12th 2009 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 28th 2009 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 11th 2009 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/
Flash 10 for Android is still cooking. It won't come with Cupcake.]]>Mar 11th 2009 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/
Cupcake does not contain Flash. Flash is coming to Android, but it's a separate project and has nothing to do with Cupcake.

Cupcake does, however, include video recording.

The G2, we assume, will eventually take the form of a T-Mobile branded HTC Magic. It is currently not announced yet. The HTC Magic has identical internal hardware specs as the G1, it just doesn't have a keyboard.]]>Mar 12th 2009 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Apr 7th 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 11th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/
I think this will be a pretty good test to see if android will trully take off. Have there been any good apps or themes on android besides the ones we already know of like shopsavy and the new gps app???? I dont know where to look to check the android market online.]]>Mar 11th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 12th 2009 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 11th 2009 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 11th 2009 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 11th 2009 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/

I guess that shows that you can never have too many versions of iFart or an iPhone Flashlight...

The App store was free until just a few weeks ago when they started allowing paid apps- so now we are starting to see some of the serious developers. Also remember that there is only on iPhone and there will be several different versions of Android phones (and possibly NetBooks?).

When someone releases a real GPS navigation program on the iPhone let me know and I will pull mine out of the closet and see if it is worth me re-activating with AT&T.]]>Mar 11th 2009 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 12th 2009 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 12th 2009 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/]]>Mar 11th 2009 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 11th 2009 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 11th 2009 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 12th 2009 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 11th 2009 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/Mar 11th 2009 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/cupcake-android-update-coming-to-g1-in-april/
