Warring words...KitKat v Apple

Not being a developer of any type, and not really knowing (or caring to know) very much about it, can anyone explain why it seems that iOS is largely used as the launch platform for apps, when it has 25% less marketshare than Android?
I could understand it when it was the majority mobile OS, but it seems strange now. Is Android much harder to code for or something?

It's because, although there are less of them, iOS customers are more likely to spend money, so it's a more lucrative market. Realistically though, any sensible company is going to release it on both iOS and Android as a matter of priority. Then they start thinking about Windows Phone and Blackberry.

I would also imagine it is easier to develop an iOS app, rather than an "Android" app due to the fragmentation of different versions (not just OS versions, but combinations of screen sizes, resolutions, manufacture tweaks etc)

Looks nice.

I especially like the fact when you go into it the first thing you see at the top of the screen is

"MF - starting a thread implying OldHack is an animal lover."

Serious speed differences on ios though if you adopt that approach.

Do you mind in pretending to do cojak's job at the moment. Pretending being the very operative word

Nothing for Windows phone at the minute though.

You do realise you are alienating a large proportion of your userbase.
