I love how the Android haters translate $102 million into "no one is buying apps"
How well did Apple's app store do in its second year?
This is rich. Isn't software support one of the major reasons why Apple Mac users have been crapped on for years? Now that an Apple product has the best app support it's now a negative? Wow. Just wow. And good luck on certain apps coming to Android. It's mainly games that I've noticed but Epic and iD Software have specifically said they have no plans to develop games on Android. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more developers in different software segments who are simply not interested in Android development when looking at the revenues iOS is bringing in and what Android is bringing in. This is also the same reason several prominent Mac developers have depreciated Mac development over the years.
about 2.5x that.
and Android grew 861.5% while Apple grew 131.9%
So basically it's the same thing all over again, Apple users said Android sucked and Apple having the higher percentage of market-share automatically meant it was better which obviously they have backtracked on that now but Google has infinitely higher percentage gains and then Android will over take just like they did with handsets.
It's not a negative, it's just something I don't care about and don't want to pay for. If you want paid apps, iOS is probably more for you.

I think you got the gist of itTake this part of what you wrote. "I am fine with all new paid app development happening on iOS and then maybe sometimes being ported to Android. Let Apple users pay for the initial R&D through their App store, they seem to enjoy it, and even brag about it on forums." You're essentially saying that the Apple users like wasting their money on experimental software and brag about wasting their money. This has negative connotations to me. The rest of your post merely furthers this thought. Let the idiots waste their money footing the bill for R&D while we reap the benefits. This is essentially a furthering of the "sheeple" comments that gets passed around here fairly often.
The problem I have is all these phandroids saying its a good thing that people are spending a lot less money on their app store. That is not a good thing, no matter how you put it. Bottom line.
I think you got the gist of it![]()
It's not their app store, it's Google's (or Amazon's or whatever). And phandroids are the ones spending less money. And spending less money is a good thing, no matter how you put it. Bottom line, indeed.
Dont you understand that if everyone was a freeloader like you the whole system wouldnt work? You need people to pay for apps (or click ads) in order for the system to work.
If every consumer on android was like you, there wouldnt be much development going on. If nobody was paying for apps, and nobody was clicking ads it wouldnt work. You should be happy people are paying for apps, on both iOS and android. You should be happy that people are clicking on ads. It enables you to be who you are and get those free apps.
I am not here to make the system work. You are more than welcome to make iOS system work with your money.
Quit trolling. Douchebag.

How is that a good thing?
im curious. how often do you apple people buy new apps? or even just DL free ones. I ask because ive had my phone for like a year and after like month 3 ive installed 1 new ap.
of those ive paid for 1 is now has its functionality baked into 2 if not more roms for free and the majority of the others all have to do with rooting/roming my phone.
I simply don't get it. outside of the random niche ap for your personal specific need what are people buying? there isn't a single ap i use where i find myself thinking "man i wish there was a paid version of this, because it would be better"
never said i refuse to pay for cheap aps that do something i want. i just refuse to pay for aps i don't need. which happens to be close to 100% of paid aps. Im prob not alone here.
if the free aps do everything you need. why would you pay for a different one?
