Oh the timing, if this had happened one month later, all sorts of crazy meaning would be assigned to it...

Why so?

If the spike happened in April it would undoubtedly have been attributed to the new iPhone SDK terms.

oh, right. Sorry, trouble putting 2 and 2 together here.

Let's see how April goes. If April stands on March figures and then May gets even better figures (another spike) it will be safe that some sort of _migration_ is happening and not just the usual market evolution

Still not enough to imply migration, unless we see App Store submissions drop significantly in unison.

I should say, it's inevitable that the Android Market will surpass the App Store in scale (and install base), but the 3.3.1 change by Apple suggests that they aren't hurting for submissions, they're more interested in (their idea of) quality.

Yes. Not a migration per se. You're right
