I think that the Windows Phone market (>30 crowd) are a great market. They have money, small amounts don't matter to them, they are not so jaded and have not already seen everything on reddit. They also are not aware that they can do a lot of the things they buy for free on some website.

That's the problem with Android - it targets the nerd market, which is the worst market to sell software to.

Or alternatively (in my case) they know a free alternative exist, but they are ok to pay on a paid version if it saves them some time to be spent with their friends, kids, hobbies or sideprojects.

Hmm, the economical success of the iphone apps was always linked to the high number of pre-existing itunes accounts. Said that, android and w7 phones looks the same from the app dev point of view. In my opinion, currently the problem with android users is that they are still more "educated" than their iphone counterpart and less prone to spend money on one of the multitude of the copycat/not-polished/useless apps the the average iphone user throw money at. And we could also discuss about the maturity of the android market offer as a whole... Still hard to find application comparable to the iphone best ones (see games).
