Google Play Revenue up 67% Over Past 6 Months (still trails the App Store)

Google Play revenue has increased 67% over the past 6 months, compared to Apple's 15% growth over the same time period. Apple still has a very strong lead in revenue for apps, but for those who say you can't make money on Android, all data and trends say otherwise. Now is the perfect time to get started with Android and get your apps in front of users. :smile::iphone::busts_in_silhouette::revolving_hearts:

Thank you. I try my best to create an android application asap. You give me motivation.

Will there be more videos up soon about Android development?

Soon-ish! The next project is due this Fall, but I don't have exact dates yet. I'll update this roadmap as soon as I have a better plan: http://teamtreehouse.com/roadmap

Cant wait for some more android tutorials to brighten my android development skills ^_^

Wow!

Thanks for the insight Ben!

The only way that Google would beat Apple if they expended the countries that Google play support (paid apps). For example, i still can't understand how Google doesn't support payment from the UAE (Dubai) while Apple recognized the power and importance of this market. We are the only country in the middle east that has Apple store ( See here ) and full access to app store as a customer or developer. I hope that Google would recognize us soon ...

I've heard similar complaints about lack of international support in certain countries. It is surprising, especially in UAE! I know they keep adding regions they support, so hopefully their reach will increase soon.

From Myanmar (Burma), I cannot publish in google play store, but can upload in Amazon Apps

time will show if google is taking the rest of the world seriously as they claim ;)
