It's rather shocking to us that Google hasn't been able to close the gap, considering it's a more open platform with more users. Overall, it doesn't really matter which platform has more apps. 600,000 apps is more than enough to keep people happy. What really matters, and isn't reflected here, is which platform has the best applications. That's a subjective question, but for the most part developers prioritize iOS first and Android second, thus giving iOS a slight edge in the quality department.
