BikingBill, Yes you are right - the highest number of units sold for an app seems to be PowerManager which has finally broken the 10,000 sales barrier (I believe the first app to do this) - which I guess can give new hope to lots of us.
Could you give us an idea of relative sales numbers for similar app types for iPhone vs. Android, e.g. you mention Blackjack on both platforms. Its very difficult otherwise to get this information and it will help us get a feel for how much Android needs to catch up before we can all enjoy the benefits of our hard work.
