Deny all they want but at androids rate, with this many handsets, the largest target audience across the largest amount of devices will be android. And when it comes to firms looking to spread their media then its going to become a big player in the proliferation of content. As much as the iphone is a good device it is severely and quite unreasonably controlled.

Whilst some may be want to deny app quality or anything of the likes my personal experience is in the browser. Javascript performance on iDevices is absolutely awful and I work a lot on web applications. And I'm sure a lot will agree that 'web apps' as they were will become more and more important for reaching mobile devices. For a platform that pursues an anti-flash rich media, you would at least expect js performance to be good and canvas to be exceptionally fast. Fact of the matter is the opposite is true whilst android's browser is brilliant and handles all forms of animation/interactions with ease -- not to mention flash support. And whilst I agree flash needs some down-toning on the net, the alternatives (being canvas) just are nowhere near proficient enough to take it out of the equation. Knowing that android can handle the widest variety of rich internet media, at the fastest quality is a huge enticement for me.]]>Jul 15th 2010 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/android-market-now-has-100-000-apps-passes-1-billion-download-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/android-market-now-has-100-000-apps-passes-1-billion-download-m/

That's a little harsh isn't it? She's not the one that made up the figure.

Not 100,000. (I tend to trust Google's numbers over this estimate since, well, they actually own the Marketplace.)

Dude NES, Genesis, and SNES emulators far than make up for it.

This is a missed opportunity. You may not want games, but this is how many developers make money and happy developers make a happy platform.

Talking of happy developers, hopefully they are making some real money (or at least are trending that way). That is what will ultimately drive good apps.]]>Jul 15th 2010 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/android-market-now-has-100-000-apps-passes-1-billion-download-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/android-market-now-has-100-000-apps-passes-1-billion-download-m/
Agreed, they are poor quality. You can tell that even the developers that make apps for both android and iPhone, put more money, and effort into the iphone. The same app on adroid just reeks of poor quality.]]>Jul 15th 2010 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/android-market-now-has-100-000-apps-passes-1-billion-download-m/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/android-market-now-has-100-000-apps-passes-1-billion-download-m/
