It's as if the author took some of the marketing points that the two platforms used against each other and then used that as an argument for what programmers want? Garbage collection is so simple. Once you're over the fear of feeling overwhelmed by having to "manage" memory it's really a non-issue. Real multitasking? No thanks. I can't come up with a "real world" problem that the current implementation doesn't solve. I'm actually from the "developing world," and I must say his argument is a bit of an insult to me. Sure, I we don't typically make as much money as an American or a European, but we buy the things we like... And if that happens to be Apple hardware then that's what we buy. I can't argue with his Android points since I've just started coding on Android.
