>The only weakness compared to the iPhone is the quality of apps, but that is quickly changing.
One of my disappointments when first getting an Android phone was that the apps trended toward being uglier and more buggy than on iPhone, but even in the last three months that's changed big-time. 3.3.1 strikes again?
They had a nice session at I/O where they decomposed the UI design elements behind the new official Twitter app (although if you have an Evo right now you may well have been in that same room with me). I don't use Twitter much at all, but I still found myself spending 20 minutes playing with the app in awe at how well put together it is.
I hope that apps like that provide some sold examples to get developers to think a bit more about design and user experience. The new features in 2.2 hopefully should help as well.
- grandalf 16y agoOh I missed that session (had wanted to attend but got sidetracked in the app engine chat area upstairs)
- ratsbane 16y agoI wanted to see that session too but got sidetracked somewhere else at IO. That's the biggest problem with IO - at any given time there were two or three places I wanted to be. They've said they'll be posting all of the session videos on YouTube but they haven't shown up yet. Here's the account where they're supposed to be listed: http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleDevelopers#g/u http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleDevelopers#g/u
