Only when it was first introduced and Apple's Maps was having issues. Now it doesn't even make the top 100.
Sorry to break it to you but most people simply use YouTube and that's it. Google, as an ad company, greatly needs Apple, not the other way around.

iPad users have over 300,000 ****tablet**** apps available to them so why would they be using iPhone apps instead? I don't do that nor do I know any iPad user that does that.
A scaled up phone app is crap on a tablet as the graphics look awful and the app is not designed to take advantage of the larger screen and higher resolution.

I"m not going to do the work for you. This is common industry knowledge and nothing you couldn't confirm by reading Android forums and industry and tech news. Those who are openminded and are considering getting a tablet and are unsure of Android or an iPad will surely look into what I said.
I never suggested anyone will have a "thousand apps" on their tablet. Having the choice of over 300,000 tablet apps with the iPad makes it much more likely the user will be satisfied with the number of apps he chooses to use on his iPad as opposed to Android tablets, and that is over and over again the common complaint amongst Android tablet users, not to mention an often lower quality app or one that isn't compatible with their particular Android tablet.
The Android tablet app situation is a joke compared to iOS and the iPad.
