While Apple devices are miles ahead of their Android counterparts as far as sales are concerned, a new study by the mobile application monitoring company Crittercism states that iOS applications crash more often than Android apps.  While most applications crash under iOS 5.0.1, it should be noted that the OS is relatively new. Having said that, iOS 4.3.3 has also caused a 10.66% of mobile apps to crash. In comparison only 1.04% of Android 4.0.1 apps are prone to crashes. That's quite commendable.
