If profitability is the aim of the game, I would have thought that aiming to get into the iPhone app store would be the number one aim.

Obviously this is getting trickier and trickier to debate. I'd tend to agree with you, but I think it depends on several things.

First, he mentioned he had an idea for an Android app that doesn't exist yet. That says to me that it might exist for the iPhone (and chances are that it does). I'm assuming it's not a tip calculator smile

Also, like he said you can get into the Android app market a whole lot faster than the App Store.

It's true that the audience is much larger on the iPhone, but I can see there being benefits to going Android first. Plus, as an Android user, I'm happy to see someone aiming there first. There's enough people doing it the other way around already smile
