I think that Android is just hitting it's stride right now. With jelly
bean and project butter it uses hardware rendering all around and the
results are well........buttery smooth.
Apple does have a much more polished SDK and I've heard that it's real easy
to make ios apps because the screen size was standard on iphones (changes
now with Iphone 5). So developing from Iphone 2G to 4S was easy because
the screen size was same. Although the resolution was different it was
scaled evenly.
With Android, you have to optimize for different SoC's, screen resolutions
and RAM configurations. To add more complexity you have to deal with
different versions of the OS.
But I'm a bit surprised at your stance regarding the Windows Phone OS. I
have used Windows Phone 7 and although it wasn't my cup of tea, I do see
very good potential. Probably the most potential from all the combatants
right now.
With 8, you can port Windows X86 apps to the Phone with relative ease.
That would make the marketplace just explode.
Anyway, Apple will sell a crapload of iphones, Android will sell a crapload
also, and windows well.......we will see in the near future.
Good points. I think the biggest problem android has is
handset/version sprawl. So many phones, so many versions of android
makes it a big pain for developers (And users). I agree JB is the bees
knees though.
