Many readers are asking about an Android app. One writes:
"The Dish app is now up and running." More accurate would be: "The Dish iPhone app is now up and running."
I'm curious why, when Android has a larger market share than the iPhone, publications more readily roll out iPhone apps? My guess would be that iPhone has a more attractive demographic. But perhaps other forces are at work: a greater PR value from associating with the sexy iPhone; a more available pool of iPhone app developers; better intellectual property protections on the iPhone; better contractual terms from Apple?
Not sure, but we asked the Beast techies about getting an Android app and they said "it's definitely a priority for us, and we're hearing that feedback loud and clear." Stay tuned.
