At Least Among Top Sites, iPad Apps are "Better" than Android Versions

It is no secret that most developers prefer the iPad ecosystem to the Android ecosystem, for the simple reason that the sales volume is higher in the iPad realm. An anecdotal survey of top apps by PC Magazine tends to confirm that the top sites are developing "first" for iPad. 


Google Play might help, eventually, but right now the problem is just that iPad gets the first attention, and in some cases Android apps are developed for smart phones, not tablets.


Almost all of the brands are at least represented on Google Play, and some display more apps per brand on Android than on the iPad. But the Android tablet apps often simply are not as aesthetically pleasing, because, so far, developers haven't put in the work to make them more palatable.
