>despite what others may say about Android, it’s immature and their app store(s) are a wild west nightmare.

Hardly a "nightmare"... User ratings and reviews give me a sense of whether an app is quality and if I don't like an Android app, I can get an instant refund.



I wish he'd elaborate on that in a future post. Even if his reasons turn out to be idiotic, it's still an important thing to understand why developers like him are hesitant to move to the platform.


From the comments: "I was speaking as a developer, not a consumer. As a consumer the Android marketplace might be great. As a developer Google doesn’t even allow Australian Developers to sell paid apps, so yes, it ain’t no alternative"
