Found this article pretty interesting.

Revenue from apps on Google Play — Android’s official app store — grew a massive 311% between October 2011 and October 2012, according to a report released Thursday by App Annie, an app analytics company. In comparison, iOS revenue grew just 12.9% over the same 12 months.

“The gap between global revenues on iOS and Google Play is still there,” says Bertrand Schmitt, CEO, App Annie. “But the gap is shrinking every month, creating more opportunities for publishers to generate significant revenue growth in several countries on Google Play.”

In a couple years will Google catch up? As more developers see better profit for Google Play, it makes sense to develop more on Android. I know Apple always touts how it has much more apps than Android and better quality, but I think its changing slowly.

Defiantly interesting over the years, one of my main problems with Android is that its Apps aren't as good as the ones on iOS. That might be changing soon.
