> Is there a particular reason you chose iOS for your first releases over Android?

This article answers that question pretty well: http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/18/wheres-twitter-music-for-an...

I personally think there's a huge opportunity there for skilled Android developers. After someone else does the market validation and first few releases, you can just steal all that work for free and make an Android app that does the same thing.

Thanks. I'm not so much looking for an article, though. I've started asking this in each "new app" thread on HN that pops up. Eventually I'll post a compilation so we can see what real developers from lone devs to teams actually have to say.

What sorts of answers have you gotten so far? Have they mostly been valid concerns, or are a lot of mobile developers misinformed when it comes to Android?

So far I don't have a lot of responses. What I have so far points to people reading articles about Android taking over, but not seeing it in the streets.
