Why Apple Is Still Crushing Google Android In Apps (AAPL, GOOG)

Google Android has passed Apple's iPhone in market share, but Apple's iOS is still a much better apps platform. Rana Sobhany just wrote a book about creating, marketing, and selling apps, called Mobilize, and she explains why Apple is destroying Google's Android in the app space.

In particular, it's difficult for developers to create apps that function on the countless number of different Android devices. And Apple has provided much better tools for selling paid apps.

"Android really took the YouTube approach to apps," Sobhany told us. "That's not the right thing here."
