>I expect him to have a bias towards Apple and developers because he makes his money off of Instapaper for iOS and he is a developer.

He also has an Android app for Instapaper.

It would be inaccurate to say "he has". Marco has stated on his podcast that he has had absolutely nothing to do with Instapaper for Android. If I recall correct he said it was an entirely-clean room implementation by Mobelux.

He didn't cut the code but he doesn't have nothing to do with it.

He wrote the code for the API the app uses and runs the servers (or hires someone to) that API runs on, plus it was developed in partnership and with his agreement so I'm guessing he was involved in the design.

I specifically mentioned Instapaper for Android, NOT the server-end. And your guess is wrong. As I stated, he mentioned on his podcast that he had nothing to do with the design and implementation of Instapaper for Android.

Did you even read my comment before clicking reply?
