Maturity.
iphone apps have had a while longer to be polished. Devs have also worked with iphone for longer.
A fair amount of android apps are just lazy ports. As the platform continues to grow and the devs get better with it the apps should improve.

Hmm allow me to amplify, Samsung have a reputation for being a bit 'plasticy' although as we all know the individual components they use, are all pretty good. Their software (Android layered with own grown software isn't that special. HTC have the other problem, great build quality but sub standard components. As an example it's well known their cameras and loudspeakers are poor in comparison to their other components and even to rival makes offerings. Their Android software (Sense) though is outstanding.

As I said early I'm not a nokiaite, and I've done a LOT of research over an extended period looking at

Phones
OS

I'm leaning to Android as the OS to use, but I'm also keeping a weather eye on Windows too.

Plus, not to mention that iOS apps are of more quality apps...although more apps are available for free on android, the iOS apps are far better and a much higher range of them;-)

Re: Google Android
 

You do realise that is essentially what I said?

Re: Google Android
 

Anyone notice the Android Market appears to have had a major revamp ?

Re: Google Android
 

Its not working for me at all :(

Edit

Re: Google Android
 

I've had the new look marketplace for a few months now. However in the last few days it's updated again to add google books to purchase.

I agree it looks a lot more professional.

Re: Google Android
 

I only started using it about 2 weeks ago, thought maybe this was a regular revamp thing lol.

Re: Google Android
 

My one real gripe I have with my HTC Wildfire is that there isn't enough onboard storage space. Also app programmers don't seem to be bothered in coding the ability to install to the SD card, I've not looked into it myself but I can imagine it's all handled pretty well by the OS

Re: Google Android
 

Theres a free app that can move apps to the sd card once installed. Might be worth a try? I havent used myself as i dont have a card so i dont know how well it works.

Re: Google Android
 

l will second that as l have a HTC Desire and so many of the Apps like Facebook, Youtube and many others cannot be moved on to the SD card.

Re: Google Android
 

i use this one

agree about the limited storage on earlier devices. the new market app takes up 7.9MB of space on my desire

Re: Google Android
 

Thanks for the link but as Graham says its also up to programmers to code it so it can go on the SD card as quite a few of my Apps don't at the present time and yes its alright having a new market place App but the problem is it has just used up another 4.5MB of my precious storage space.
