Developers like to get paid

• Android platform users prefer FREE (as in FREE beer)

• 2/3 of Android users have never bought apps.

• iOS users are willing to pay for quality apps

• Corporations find it easier to develop to a standard – iOS has become that standard

Jon Lech Johansen, the developer of DoubleTwist, a desktop Mac and Windows app that provides Android with a third party option for media sync and desktop Android Market access resembling Apple's iTunes, complained about "Google's mismanagement of the Android Market," noting that "one should not need a PhD in Computer Science to use a smartphone," and that "Google does far too little curation of the Android Market."

The real problem with Android security though isn't malware that requires a fool's active co-operation. No, the true trouble is that Google still doesn't do anything like enough checking of applications for security risks before it lets them go on the Google Play Store. This is one thing that Apple does do better with its app store than Google does. ~ Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols (ZDNet, October 2012)

Patching/Upgrades• Apple

• Sole responsibility. One patch targets all devices. 61% of all iOS devices updated.

• Android OS

• Finger pointing. Google creates patch/upgrade. Then maybe device manufacturer creates a patch for their devices. Then maybe cellular provider distributes patch. Or maybe they force you to buy a new phone.
