android vs iphone marketshare

had an interesting talk with the ceo of an iphone/android app today that has had 30+ million downloads.

- iphone users download apps 5:1 over android users and willingness to buy even higher.

- he thinks market share figures from comscore etc are wildly distorted because they track via things like ads and those are all higher on android since people don't pay for apps there and instead apps are ad supported.
