@RecipeForHate:

And here I was hoping we'd come to our senses. How soon before we start hearing cries for a recall again?

@Lucian Armasu: You are reading it wrong.

@vinod1978: I'm not sure how any of that is relevant. The weighted average price of Android phones sold is less than the weighted average price of iPhones sold. Ergo, as far as the consumer is concerned, Android phones are cheaper than iPhones.

@Who Shot Who in the What Now?:

@dsands: As to the original normative claim,

@vinod1978: To be fair, the iPhone is more expensive than other smart phones. You don't see this if you only look at list prices of top end phones, but if you consider actual sales prices, you'll see that iPhones don't enjoy the significant discounts most Android phones do soon after their release. Top of the line…

@ohnoitsaspider: Everything I've read from developers that code for both platforms (LarvaLabs for instance) states that Android development simply isn't profitable wether it be adds or app sales. Do you have a source showing ad revenue for apps?

@Dapke36: The original Droid (available for 99c with contract) was the best selling Android phone last quarter.

The comments here shed some light on why Android Apps don't make any money.

@Les Mikesell:

Is it possible that Google is reluctant to grant "tablets" access to the Android Marketplace because it fears that web search volumes on such devices will be too low to justify expending resources on getting them Android compatible?
