| 1372689 | 2014-04-17 20:59:00 | I get the feeling you keep trying to educate me on how it works, in order to try and sell me on the idea of it? But, I'm 100% familiar with how it works already :-/ I'm actually trying to get my head around the concept. The more I read about it the less I'm sure if it's actually going to be a workable idea. |

It's a nice idea in theory. Practicality of it is significantly diminished.

Except that I don't see iTunes coming out for Android any time soon. I don't know too many Android users who like paying for stuff ;) I agree that there aren't too many Android users who would want to join the Apple club. |

| 1372694 | 2014-04-21 00:19:00 | Percentage wise, because Android also works on the absolute bottom-end handsets, yes iOS users are more likely to pay for apps. In terms of sheer raw numbers of users, because Android dominates iOS something like 4:1, yeah Android users still have a higher headcount of users who pay for apps (and other things). |
