@Incognito We all play catchup with iPhone, they did set the stage. But this is a good thing because it works both ways, now because of Android (and RIM), Apple decided to add multitasking (and Enterprise). Everybody has to step up their game if they want to stay relevant, thus making things easier for us in the long run, having so many features that we can integrate in our apps.
@String This quote is form an article by Richard Wong, and it says it all: "Many developers focused on the consumer market are going to find that a blend of mobile web, and prototyping on iPhone-only or Android-only is the right first step and only then expand to broader platforms. Blackberry and WindowsMobile are similarly important in business applications. Rather than the costly efforts of chasing 4-5 platforms at once, focus in on the first one or two, prove your model, then expanding will help to bound the complexity". You can read the whole article here: http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/04/mobile-fragmentation-forever/ On a personal note, I enjoy programming on every platform I deal with (Java ME, Android, iPhone), even if it easier to achieve something on one platform than it is on the other.
