John Gruber (of Daring Fireball fame) had a great post that caught my attention. It talks about the number of apps that are out there for iOS and Android.
… this “how many apps are in the respective app stores” metric is being given too much weight… I’ve said this before, but by this metric, we’d all be using Windows, not the Mac. Which platform has the most apps is interesting, but which platform has the best apps is more important.
This should be obvious. Is it no obvious?
(FYI: Gruber states that he believes that iOS has more good apps than Android. For what ever it might be worth, at the moment I agree. However I also believe if a powerful Android powered iPad-ish device(s) comes out anytime soon that things will change.)
