I just need to find a way to make that quantifiable. :o One app is designed to have a greater number of users, and the other is designed to have more 'serious' members, I suppose you could say. Both markets are "hot" right now, so there's no telling which will get picked up and ran with the most. That said, my Facebook app will be monetized via the people who want to make contact with its users rather than the users themselves. Both are service-based.

Let's see which one turns out for the better. ;] Haha, it’s comforting to know my current project is largely based on the iPhone, given little tidbits like this. :P
