Analysts say that the iPad has catalyzed the iPhone application development in a spectacular way compared to Android. iPhone application development nearly tripled in January versus December, from 600 new applications to over 1,600. The iPad launch is considered a potential opportunity for early applications to get more sales.

Google’s platform has seen a development jump of about 33 percent to 300 new applications, many of them thanks to launches of phones like the Nexus One. The important growth of Apple’s applications stimulated by the iPad has almost removed any hope for Android to beat Apple’s platform. This is also a positive indicator for iPad sales because customers are attracted by the applications on offer.

The recent success of the Apple iPad has clearly shown Apple is on the wave and at a level not seen in the last six months. Analyzing usage habits one can see they are fairly similar. While Android phone owners use to start up applications a slightly number of times monthly and ply games for a longer time, iPhone owners use applications slightly longer on average.
