All Apps are from the iPhone store because its the only store to have apps, Android just came out so dont expect too much.
One thing is they dont count purchases but (re)downloads.And in a years time i would like to see the competition of the 2 major app stores, apple vs google. people will be making same apps for both stores but then there will be rivalry on who is the cheapest? or do more? which might increase what the API can do .... so give android a bit of time to establish itself and then we shall see, since the take up of the OS was from 2% to now 21% i'm positive google will over shadow apple in say 3 years time.
