Local dev has a great opportunity on Android, but Android tablets are still the minority. (I own one myself, but know only a handful of other people who do, too.) I think iPad has to be considered a target if mobile programming will ever become mainstream. Until Apple and developers can make nice and find a nice tradeoff between control-of-the-experience and hacker-friendliness, I think this will be a long face-off.
- revorad 14y agoI will be surprised if Apple does not eventually allow programmers to program directly on iOS. I think they restrict it for now because of the limitations of the device. If they don't go that way, then I'm willing to bet on Android or any other more hacker-friendly platform to give them a run for their money.
