iPhone needs Mac for development (and of course iPhone). Android does not. Moreover I believe that on long term Android may be more profitable.

- TheSOB88 16y agoWhy do you think that Android would be more profitable? It seems to me that Google is terrible at marketing; the only people I've seen interested in Droid have been geeks like us.
- theBobMcCormick 16y agoThey're activating 160,000 Android phones a day.

- mhd 16y agoConsidering the recent success of the iPad and iPhone 4, that might not happen at all or be in the far future. On the other hand, the iPhone market might be more saturated for the kind of applications you want to make. Still, once you got the idea, the graphics and the general structure, porting apps either way isn't that hard, even if you have to rewrite the code, so investing in a used Mac Mini + iPod Touch might be worth it in the end.
