I am leaving iPhone.
Reason: I can write code in Java and load it on my phone without paying money to anybody. I can not afford to pay $100 to Apple every year just to load apps on my phone written by me.
- FreeRadical 17y agoIt's $100 plus the cost of a mac to write iPhone apps.
- notauser 17y agoIn my mind there's a big difference between costs caused by things that would be hard for you to do (build and support a reliable cross-compiling Obj-C development environment on Windows) and costs caused by things that are easy for you to not do (SDK charges). The former I'll overlook even if they are two and a half times as much as the latter. ($500 second hand mac mini every two years vs $100/yr.)
