Smule Won't Be Porting Its iPhone Apps to Android

Smule has revealed that they don't have plans to move their successful iPhone applications to Android due to the high costs involved.

Smule is the company responsible for many popular iPhone apps including, "Sonic Lighter", "Leaf Trombone", and "I Am T-Pain".

Jeff Smith the developer behind Smule tells MediaMemo that he doesn’t like the way the [Android] store merchandises its wares, and he doesn’t want to have to create different apps for each handset Android supports.

These concerns are likely shared amongst many iPhone developers. This gives Apple a huge step up especially when it comes to the iPad. A little incremental programing to make their application fit a larger form factor is relatively simple in comparison to redesigning and redeveloping from scratch for a different operating system.
