That may be the case, but the developers out there will be targeting the Apple Watch first. Regardless of whether it outsells Android Wear watches, people that are going to buy an Apple Watch are less likely to expect everything they run on there to be free.

Developers have been jumping ship on Apple for awhile now. The market share simply isn't there anymore. (I know this since I develop for both and it almost isn't worth my time to focus on iOS anymore) Combine that with Android's head start and the limited functionality and I doubt there will be much difference in the app space here.

Speaking of market share... Remember when you lost that bet with me regarding Apple's tablet market share?

Apple still maintains well over 15% market share by the way.

While Android will continue to keep its place as the leading operating system, Apple, with 27.5% market share, remains the single-biggest brand in the tablet market. IDC tells me that in Q3 specifically, Apple’s iPad had a 22.1% share.

Apple isn't at 15%, you keep looking at bullshit figures like IDC which only count the major brands... totally ignoring the massive white-label market and small brands which are all androids. I'll have to check but I think it's close to 100 million total units shipped last quarter. A quick check of Apple and they were around 12 million of those. I can't confirm these figures though because I'm not willing to pay $2000 for the actual report.

I do however have a friend in Germany who might be able to get us the report through his company. I'll ask him but this is probably all moot because although I think there is no way I am not correct NOW, I doubt I was correct when our bet finished... although I think it is much closer than the idiotic IDC figures.

I'll reach out to my friend and if he gets us the reports great if not I'll concede. If I remember correctly you wanted this tablet...
