iPhone App Store vs Android Market

I compare the iPhone App Store vs the Android Market.

Apps are a huge part of buying any smartphone and so is the way you get them. Apple with the iPhone and iPod touch App Store has a very different way of doing it compared to Google and the Android Market so today I compare both to help determine which is the best for you including the the selection of apps, the pricing and the interface to access the store.

@user4385 well usually you know what you're buying... and the apple app store doesn't have questionable shit made by some asshole in his basement being sold for 3.46 euros... i've never bought an app that i wasn't sure i wanted. and if i wasn't there is always a free version.

@skittleschocolate @MarZDroid What cute little internet warriors you two are. You guys should get out of your mothers' basements. Have you actually taken a step back before and thought how much of a loser you have to be to argue iPhone/Android on the internet?

@pokecardcollector188 it was 24 hours, they shortened it to stop people from using them then deleting them after 24 hours, but ios has no refund window

@user4385  actually 15 minutes but you can delete the app you purchased within 24 hours

@MarZDroid First of all, they need to pay someone to scan the code. i've done Java and C++ coding, i wouldn't do it again even if i was paid. second. exactly... 2 years behind... third you just talked up the iPhone. 4, if android was worth a damn, they would put some effort into developing NEW applications for the market. then charge people for the new thing. no one will buy the old versions, that's why they're free but that doesn't make the android market better. it makes it a thrift store.

@skittleschocolate first of all, doodle jump has a better quality because of its tegra graphics (known in new phones) and because theres a HD version. your right about 3 versions behind but dosent bother me much.were did you read that they have to pay to fix any bugs the firmware has? and thats not 3 years old is about 1 and a half since that last 2 updates for doodle jump. just because iphone has retina desplay all it is is a color correction to it, android has the extended screen for a reason
