And if you don’t believe Siegler, backs him up.

Nearly seven of every 10 apps being created in the first quarter of 2012 were for the iOS platform, with the remaining three going to Android, according to new data released today by research firm Flurry Analytics. iOS generates twice as many apps as Android despite Google’s mobile operating system commanding 50.8 percent of the smartphone market compared with Apple’s 31.4 percent, according to ComScore data release last week.

Google either doesn’t know how to fix this problem or has completely lost control of the situation. Or both.

Finally, it can’t help Google’s case if even its market-share advantage is slipping, which it , at least in the U.S.
