APPLE iOS 13.8% 15.3%
ANDROID 2.7% 22.8%
. these are the quite new numbers in the recent forecasts for market share, in my opinion google success is based in good revenues of the nexus one
.in the meantime apple gets under pressure for content restrictions of its apps
.obviously the open platforms will perform better, because they provide much more variety for business usage
.with upcoming mobile development engines the differences for founders and coders are getting more and more irrelevant
.what is getting more and more important is the marketing part for the apps - I assume there will be some new innovative forms of marketing in the appstores and environment - maybe some special kind of software/tool-aggregation-provider? :)
