Maybe this will be the bump needed for Google to actually add some quality control to their app store. I still think, as much as I dislike iTunes, that the overall quality of apps for iOS exceeds that of Android. But that's just my two cents! Mark

I think you are right @GoNorthWest. I hate it when you are right too..lol..just kidding. Having both platforms, Android could enrich and make it easier on developers. LA

Still think the biggest problem with Android is fragmentation. S3 and one x both top phones, os's very different. Until handset manufacturers decide on some common ground I don't see how google can properly police the marketplace when an app might work perfectly on 50% of phones and not even open on the other 50%. It's getting better, but it's not there yet.

Yep, fragmentation is a huge problem also! Feels like iOS is headed that way with all the new devices! ;)

Maybe, but I bet apple will have some sort of graceful degradation or something.. There's a lot to be said in favour of one unmodded os for multiple devices.
