Apps availability

[mattchapman]

OK, so I'm tempted to bail on iPhone and go Android.
My fear is that while the phones look very powerful with all the bells and whistles, there will be only a fraction of the apps available versus what I'm used to on Apple.

How is it?

You can browse the appstore here: https://market.android.com/

I've never used iOS so I cannot really compare anything, but I would think by now the Android market has at least caught up in quantity of apps.

Yeah, pretty much anything worth having on IOS is available on Android now. It's just the difference of having 67 fart apps on IOS or 53 fart apps on Android available now. I'm pretty sure Android has well over 300,000 apps now too.

Some claim that the Android apps don't have the "polish" that IOS does, but then again there's usually a free (ad supported) alternative of an app too so you're not forced into buying it.

Lol, or just use common sense along with reading the comments of apps/software before you put it on your phone. They make antivirus for iOS too .

One of the best features of the Android Marketplace is the Amazon free app a day .

freeappalert.com would be the iphone equivalent. Mostly crap, but sometimes some real gems.
