The OP's thesis was about how Android development is easy. I countered that with the strong personal opinion that once you get into more complicated apps that it gets harder. I believe it gets harder because there are less resources (for example, if you compare the Apple developer docs with Google's Android docs - you would be hard pressed to say that the quality and quantity of Google's docs are more). Apple clearly had the lead on developer mindshare because of the success of the App Store. Google is catching up but the reality is you can make a living off iOS easier than Android. You could do both but going from CoreData to ContentProviders in one day might make your head queasy. Speaking of J2EE, I would love to have Spring or Hibernate ORM. I've tested the various Android ORMs and they do not yet seem to be 1.0.
