Looking at the latest figures from
AndroLib and
148Apps the iOS app store currently has about 418k active apps, while the Android market has just passed 400k (excluding wallpapers, etc) *.
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?
