It is natural that the Android Market will overtake Apple's App Store because Android is more popular than iOS.

Myself, 06 May 2011what gives..? In terms of QUALITY of apps, Microsoft's MarketPlace is FAR ahead of the Android... moreThat's not quite true is it? In you mean percentage of the apps that could be deemed as 'quality' apps compared to Andoid then yes, Windows Phone probably has the highest. But that's like saying every car that Bugatti makes it faster than a Porsche.. they only make one model (albeit in different guises), so it's hardly a claim to fame. Windows Phone Marketplace is a vast empty waste land, and all those predicting that WP7 will be the second most popular OS after Andoid in a couple of years, don't make me laugh. Sad thing is they'll probably take Nokia down with them (difference is Microsoft can afford to cut their losses, Nokia's downward curve probably means they won't be so lucky).

If you want more from your phone, then it's good to know those, but it's not neccessary if you want it working out of the box. And I am talking about "out-of-the-box" experience here. Please tell me how XDA is related to widgets ot custom UIs? We are talking about usability of things found in the Android Market / App Store and I personally find the opinion that Android ones are either iApp clones, second-grade or useless quite stupid. There are a LOT of good quality, usefull and unique applications in the Android Market that will never be in the App Store for one reason alone - Apple doesn't want you to have them. Yes, they might degrade your user experience with the phone, but this is your choice to make, not Apple's. We are all adults here capable of making our own decisions and if Apple treats you like children, you should not feel flattered by that.

Hey I just played Sacred Oddysey on my Android device (for free) that apple fanboys would pay for this game. Of course you might play as well unless your phone jailbroken =X

I am an android user and I have to admit. When it comes to gaming iphone wins hands down. Games on iphone have better graphics because they are optimized for just one phone. Android games are usually of lower quality because they have to be playable on many devices with different specs. Many androids have low resolution, ram, gpu power and lack MULTITOUCH (see x10). Now that most android phones come with high resolution, multitouch, more ram, dual cores and the fact that there are many new android tablets means that better quality games are on their way.
Btw, with phones like the galaxy SII it might be possible to do an iOS emulator and run all iphone games... oooook apple, i did not say that.. d-d-don't shoot me. aaaaah.

More apps doesn´t mean better apps.I have an Android phone myself and sometimes it´s frustrating seeing so many similar apps and so many crap apps on the market.Google should realy change theyr criteria for app uploading onto the market as well as i dunno maybe scan them for viruses or something.More security and beter upload criteria=better apps on the market(apps users would gladly pay for)=more quality=better service all arround

you basically don't care about customizing your iphone, just because you can't customize an iphone (without jailbreaking it).
Enjoy using (and holding) your iphone the way apple demands you to.

Even if they take over they will never be able to win over apple appstore as we can see the quality the apps are providing on both platforms
The apps r great looking and working on ios and see android apps which r just dummies with poor quality working and graphics
So tell me which one is better by commenting!!!!!

eXiLeD aSsAsSiN, 06 May 2011microsoft are a long way behind and are going to struggle hugley to catch upwhat gives..? In terms of QUALITY of apps, Microsoft's MarketPlace is FAR ahead of the Android Market. And I suspect the gap will only get wider once this Nokia thing kicks off. Not expecting u te admit though...

Android market is largely unregulated. I have seen some apps and games that are identical to each other, differs only in version number that the seller seems to be pumping out (alpha 0.1, alpha 0.2...etc) So the number for Android market is really all a fluff. Sooner or later, Google has to clamp down on these dishonest sellers like Apple did 2 years ago, and Android number will start to decline rapidly.

I could see a market for higher level android products that installed a pre-working "theme" that did most of the customization work for one. I wish I wasn't forced to put up with itunes on my PC when I buy an iPhone.

well maybe we won't get to used every apps on the android market.. but apple and android are always being compare by "YOU" guys.. that's why the media such as gsm arena will always make the comparison in every aspect like this one for example..
anyway, the way i see it, apple fanboy always leaving hateful comment in other phone's article and leave a very one sided comment.. and android fans always had a reason to hate apple.. it was so amusing to me to see how people hate each other even though it is not their "war"..
