Right, but as a developer, I would go for the platform with large market/easy distribution built in rather than openness any day. Android may be a cool platform, but if no one is using it in the first place, why bother?
Apple knows how to market technology to regular people. So far, android only seems to be aimed at the tech crowd.

Large markets are great, but as a developer I avoid markets where I will have no idea if I can launch my product until I spend the time to develop it. It doesn't matter how big the market is if Papa Steve says I can't play in his sandbox.
