You're tilting at windmills. Pick your poison: if you decide to develop for both iPhone and Android, you'll have to maintain two completely distinct code bases, neither of them in a mainstream language or programmed to any mainstream model (Dalvik's version of Java and the Android application model being peculiar to Android and Objective-C and the iPhone application model being peculiar to iPhone). How's your productivity going to compare with someone developing applications for the "GNOME Mobile" phones based on much more standard (and community-supported) models (GTK+, Gstreamer, etc.) coming from LiMo Foundation members and others...? I note that out of the 750,000 downloads of the SDK that much noise was made of a while back, fewer than 1,800 applications showed up for a chunk of that $10 million being offered. That's something under a quarter of a percent. -- 鏡石 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
