The fact that the BBC's new strategy is to deliver apps for both platforms at the same time really says something in my opinion. Developers are just now starting to decide that Android is worth it. Not a huge endorsement if you ask me. Android will probably see more installs in the long run but I don't know if they will really be quality.

I'd say the phone industry is starting to approximate the fashion industry, with Apple targeting the high-end designer market and Android the cheaper but much larger mass-market segment.

It really doesn't fit though, if you'll pardon the pun. I see a lot of people investing in ipads that never touch fashion. So while it fits for a certain definition, I don't think it accurately portrays the industry mainly because in fashion you don't really have a singular Apple.
