Here are some reasons for Android in no particular order: * uses a mainstream language (Java) with normal syntax * I've been doing Java forever :) * easy/cheap to get started: don't need to pay for the SDK, pretty much any machine/OS will do for development, you can get an Android phone for cheap as well * easy/cheap to publish on the Android market: $25 and no review process (it has other flaws though) * it's Linux, so most things you know about *nix hold * it's (mostly) open source, so you can get under the hood if you need to As for the others, Blackberry is pretty much dead as far as apps go, Windows phone's future is uncertain, but the app review process is said to be ridiculous. Apple is here to stay, so it's a safe bet. If you want to be serious about mobile development , you can't ignore it. On the other hand the app store has been around for a relatively long time, so it's harder to get in. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
