Those are some wicked old numbers for the Appstores. Android is closer to 380,000+
Not to mention that Android has the highest percentage of free apps.
I just purchased the Galaxy Nexus and couldn't be more pleasantly surprised. I would use Ice Cream Sandwich any day over the limited under powered iOS.
i've got a HTC Radar, which is a w7 phone, and from my experience (girlfriend has a galaxy2 which is android) android is still the superior platform.
for windowsphone you basically have to pay for EVERY LITTLE FUCKING THING you want to do with it.
even if you want to be able to install 3rd party apps on your phone which DONT come off xbox live, you have to 'unlock' your phone which is a PAID service.

For what it's worth. Android just passed 400,000 apps
Android is great if you are a tinkerer and an avid app user. Phones are not something I really care to tinker with (for now), so I just wanted a smartphone that worked out of the box, no hassle. Complications from running a non-US phone on a US network aside, I'm pleased with it. I may go with an Android phone at some point later down the line if they maintain the hardware lead.
I will say, though, that I am a massive fan of polish and user experience. However, I'm not so much of a fan that I will buy an Apple product. I don't like products that not only assume that the consumer is an idiot, but also turn them into one with use.
Bump.
Apple Must Publish Notice Samsung Didn’t Copy IPad In U.K.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) was ordered by a judge to publish a notice on its U.K. website and in British newspapers alerting people to a ruling that Samsung Electronics Co. didn’t copy designs for the iPad.
The notice should outline the July 9 London court decision that Samsung’s Galaxy tablets don’t infringe Apple’s registered designs, Judge Colin Birss said today. It should be posted on Apple’s U.K. home page for six months and published in several newspapers and magazines to correct any impression the South Korea-based company was copying Apple’s product, Birss said.
The order means Apple will have to publish “an advertisement” for Samsung, Richard Hacon, a lawyer for Cupertino, California-based Apple, told the court. “No company likes to refer to a rival on its website.”
Apple is fighting patent lawsuits around the globe against competitors including Google Inc.,HTC Corp. (2498) and Samsung as it competes for dominance of the smartphone and tablet computer markets. The firms have accused each other of copying designs and technology in their mobile devices. Legal battles about the similarity of Samsung and Apple tablets are being fought in Germany, the Netherlands and the U.S.
Public Statements
Birss said in his July 9 ruling that Samsung’s tablets were unlikely to be confused with the iPad because they are “not as cool.” He declined today to grant Samsung’s bid for an injunction blocking Apple from making public statements that the Galaxy infringed its design rights.
“They are entitled to their opinion,” he said.
Apple spokesman Alan Hely didn’t immediately respond to a phone call and e-mail requesting comment on the judge’s order.
“Should Apple continue to make excessive legal claims based on such generic designs, innovation in the industry could be harmed and consumer choice unduly limited,” Samsung said in a statement after the hearing.
“The war between these two companies seems to be escalating even further,” said Colin Fowler, an intellectual property lawyer at London-based Rouse. He said much of the publicity around the July 9 ruling focused on Birss’ comments about Samsung not being as cool.
“From a victory in court they were suddenly on the back foot,” Fowler said in a phone interview. “Getting this order fits in with the context of them trying to restore the balance.”
‘Commercial Harm’
Comments made by Apple after that ruling unfairly implied that Samsung had copied designs, Samsung’s lawyer Kathryn Pickard said at the hearing. That “caused real commercial harm.”
As well as Apple’s website, the company must pay for notices in the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, Guardian Mobile magazine, and T3, according to a draft copy of the order provided by Samsung’s lawyers.
Apple’s lawyer said the company would appeal the July 9 decision and Judge Birss granted the company permission to take its case to the court of appeal.
The case is Samsung Electronics (UK) Limited & Anr v. Apple Inc., High Court of Justice,Chancery Division, HC11C03050.
Good. Eat shit and die, Apple.
I'm still waiting for Apple to move into the automobile industry and subsequently sue Ford, Toyota, Honda, etc. for making vehicles that infringe on their intellectual property.
The CEO of Ford would look straight into the eyes of everyone at the legal department at Apple and just laugh his fucking ass off.
