For a company that spends a lot on development and marketing, and will likely have a top 10 app, those top 10 numbers may certainly mean that their Android investment won't pay off.

Who made the same app for the iPhone and for Android. His ratio was 3:1, which is roughly the ratio of handsets in the US iirc.
In any case, the TechFlash article says "Michael Schneider of HiveBrain Inc., a Seattle-based iPhone app developer who has dabbled in Android apps, said the volume of sales for Android apps has been about one-tenth the size of their iPhone counterparts."
This ratio matches what I've heard from several other people (disclaimer: I know Michael and among other things, we have discussed these topics in the past)
