Mobile phones have come a long with in the past decade, moving swiftly from flip open devices to touch pad products capable of holding several gigabytes worth of data. The Apple iPhone is one of the best selling mobile devices with its own specific operating system. Android phones have several makes and models and, unlike the iPhone which is only available through AT&T and Verizon, are available on all wireless markets. One of the many perks of using a smart phone like Android or the iPhone are the many applications (apps) available. If you are selecting a phone primarily on apps, you need to look at the overall quantity and quality of the apps.

In terms of gaming applications, the Apple iPhone wins hands down. This isn’t saying apps for Android are bad, but most gaming developers create apps for the iPhone first. The iTunes store, designed to work with the iPhone, has thousands of more gaming applications than the Android Market, with games ranging from free to around 10.

Entertainment apps are more evenly split between the two, with most music streaming services and social networking options available on both mobile devices, but Android phones do offer larger screens.
