Free Android apps outnumber free iPhone apps



Good news for Android users who hate paying for stuff: according to new numbers from Netherlands-based mobile analytics group Distimo, there are now more free apps available for Google's mobile OS than the iPhone, at 134,342 to 121,845. There are a few things to consider here: first, when one adds free iPad-only apps, the total number of gratis iOS apps increases to a more competitive 132,239
 
We knew that sooner or later time would come that free android apps would surpass iPhone free apps. android is much bigger market than iphone.
 
android has more percentage of free apps. it is a well known fact. example: angry birds is free on android. it's paid on Apple app store.
 
well if Apple product owners are generally considered to be more open to the idea of paying for apps.
 
When things on android, like widgets/themes/sounds/etc are counted as apps (most of which are free), i don't think its a valid comparison.
 
^^ Not on android anymore?Wallpaper apps are different. I'm talking about apps that offer a single theme/ringtone/widget, rather than a collection of the same.
