Even if you had carefully laid out stats on the app store, it's still utterly useless.
If apps available on a platform was an indication of quality, we'd all be using windows instead of mac os x, which just goes to show how stupid that argument is. The question is: How many _quality_ apps are available? Pick everything you'd like to do with your phone, and check if there's a quality app for it. If yes, then the platform is great. If no, then it isn't. Even if there are 100 million apps available. If they all sucks and/or don't do what you need, that's what counts.
