Apple’s which closed system which applications must be submitted to apple for review and ultimately maybe alvailable or not alvailable in the apple app store.

Android market is an open system. The android market likely to have more variation application. because The Android market can be directly publish their applications to the market without filtered. The end-users can be use application on market without should submitted or likes, which then should be approved by developers.

Refunds your money. The big difference between android market and the apple app store is the paid application. The apple app store does not refund your money on application was purchased. That is, if you buy app that does not meet your need or not work properly, you not get refund on that aplication.

Conversely, the Android market can be refund on application which already be bought at market, if this application does not work properly. you need to do uninstal this application within 24 hours and you get a full refund. And you can to join be a  developer , then allows you to publish your apps in the market. you can sign up as a developer on android market charges a fee of $25. But the the app store give cost which much more expensive namely $99. And this can be a excellence for android market.
