iPhone vs. Android development

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

As I was looking for articles comparing android vs iphone development, I came across blogger Ed Burnette and his post titled “iPhone vs. Android development”. The author shares his experiences during his 5 day course on Iphone programming by Joe Conway from Big Nerd Ranch. The post was insightful and very informative. The author is quite knowledgable in Android Development and has even written a book titled “Hello, Android: Introducing Google’s Mobile Development Platform”.
