The major difference between android and ios in this area is that android has a common file system which makes it easy for multiple apps (which aren't trying to be un-cooperative, ie use DRM) to interact with the same pool of files. One the bright side this lets you leverage capability of multiple pieces of software, on the downside it may come out to meaning a hodgepodge of solutions where to do this you have to use this application but to do that you have to remember to use a different one. On ios it's possible to create something akin to a filing system and do pretty arbitrary operations on the data within it - at the very least, storage, tagging, annotation, association, and playback. BUT all that data will be private to a single application, which would have to accomplish all of what you want (of course you can write an all-in-one-solution for android too). The second difference is that on android, you can deploy any app which can be made to work on an unmodified platform; on ios you can only (widely) deploy the app if apple decides to let you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
