The advantage of writing an iPhone app as opposed to Android is that the hardware compatibilty provided by iPhone is far better. It makes the developers life much easier. In the end there are always the pros-and-cons of open/proprietery platforms

Yes, there is a higher chance of approval than disapproval, but there is still a higher chance of disapproval than what a developer would like. The truth is, iPhone is going to die out fairly quickly if Apple doesn’t get their act together. Competition is really starting to catch up, and Android’s app store almost accepts anything in reason. They’ve only banned the tethering apps, and any good apps are approved very quickly. And the initial cost to become a dev for android is extremely cheaper than it is on iPhone.

Apple surely was a game changer with its Iphone and app store. But if in less than 2 years they didn’t change their policies will become irrelevant with new competition.

Personally I am waiting for the “PC compatible phone” and load it with the Mobile OS of my preference.

Bullshit. Or should I say, horseshit. The possibility of your app actually making it to the store is far higher than it being rejected. Gruber doesn’t post a lengthy post every time Apple approves an app. Sure there’s a lot of crap in there, but it’s approved crap nonetheless.

There’s no doubt the system is faulty, but I don’t think any developer in their right minds would turn to Cydia before approaching the App Store. And there’s a high chance that the app they submit will in fact get approved.
