    Obviously the Android store will overtake the ios store, theres's more potential with google than with the monopolizing Apple. There are also more phones out there carrying the Android name. I personally don't buy a phone anymore unless it has Android to back it up.

                      I use an iPhone 4(Appstore), a Galaxy S(Android Maket) and an Omnia 7(Marketplace), and yes it figures, Android Mrket is getting more interesting than the rest these days, while Window's Marketplace has almost nothing to offer, a "wasteland" as people say, worse than Nokia's OviStore, what will be Nokia's future?
                      It's better be Android.

                            As more users use Android, the amount of apps naturally go up. This is good news for Android users because developers will probably release any new apps to Android Market at the same time, or even earlier, as App Store. It's going to be very interesting to see what's going to happen in a year or two because the iphone's greatest strength is its apps.

                                        "I don't think there's a single "useful" app in one market that doesn't exist in another."

                                        Well, I think there are more than one ;)
