iPhone is for games, Android is for other apps

iPhone and Android phones are two different platforms and app search firm Xyologic is bringing that point home again with an analysis of the top apps on both platforms.

Xyologic found that of the top 150 apps downloaded on each platform in 2011, 85 of the 150 on Android leaned toward non-gaming apps, while 100 of the top 150 apps on the iPhone were games. Non-gaming apps on Android generated 91.5 million downloads in November compared to 33.4 million for games. Meanwhile on the iPhone, games in November generated 71.6 million downloads while other apps received 25.6 million downloads.
