Apps and their availibility across different mobile OSes - iOS, Android, Windows Phone & Windows 8

I was looking to get a summary of which apps are available on which mobile OS and what are the glaring missing ones. The reason is, now that my company doesnot officially support Blackberry, i need to look to a new platform (read OS) so that i can sync emails and contacts, etc etc.

During my search i reached the page which in a nice, clear, concise manner lists this compariosn. Here it is:

Top 100 Apps Availability on iOS, Android, Windows Phone & Windows 8  

This page clearly shows that although there are a lot of apps available on iOS and  Android platforms, but the required and necessary ones are available in Windows platforms well. yes, there are quite a lot of apps on the Windows platform that are paid, but, likewise is the case with iOS. Also, the iOS platform is tightly controlled by Apple, where as Windows is slightly more open as a platform, though Microsoft still calls the shots. Android on the other hand is another story of too many and lack of control.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 takes photos and video that no other smartphone can match with a 41 megapixel camera sensor, PureView technology, Optical Image Stabilisation and amazing high-resolution zoom.

I wonder when will we see the news of this phone making it to the Indian market, especially since we now have the other two phone Nokia Lumia 925 and Nokia Lumia 625 already on pre-booking. I hope it is soon.
