While there may still be a quality difference between the two, in sheer numbers the app gap seems to be closing fast, and I think we're reaching the point where it ceases to be an issue on Android generally.

There's still a way to go, of course, with apps optimised for Honeycomb tablets, but I'm sure this will have improved vastly by the end of the year.

* Does anyone know if those AndroLib figures are simply an accumulation of the new apps each month or also include apps that have been removed from the market?
