I wish there were some Android devices in the wild.
Google Android was so much easier to write to than the iPhone.
I love the type safety Java gives you compared to Obj-C. Stepping through gdb trying to figure out why something threw an NSException is no fun, especially if the stack keeps getting busted.
And IntelliJ is light years better than XCode, if feel clunky moving around in Xcode.
Unfortunately the users are on iPhone, so no choice. Tho the controls and animations are gorgeous on the iPhone. [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL]; is cool as heck.
- ardit33 18y agoI have to say that Java is much more easy to develop for than Object C. But, android api is really not elegant at all. They did a really bad job in keeping a tight api, which is powerful at the same time. They just kept adding stuff to it. (the 0.9 version is improved). While the iPhone Api is more elegant, and the frameworks are well designed. Also the visuals of iPhone are way superior. What sucks about iPhone is the language, Object C. It is really much harder than the Java implementation. Plus it is missing some functionality, mostly on purpose, while android lets you access a lot more on the phone, camera, adress book, etc...
