Android Vs iPhone

There are log of questions arise on Android as well as iPhone.

 

Did Android beats iPhone?

iPhone 3G phone which is expected to born on July 11 is very cheap , $199 /- So what is the future of Android phone

What are the application that supports android phone?

Is there any restriction in developing Android applications?

The new iPhone is cheap and sexy. What will be the features of Android phone to compete with this ?

When is the official launch of Android phones?

 

These kind of questions will arise in everyone’s mind before the official launch of Android.   

(*)The language gap: Android apps are built in Java, iPhone apps are built on Objective-C. One Android developer we talked to said that he would switch to the iPhone, but he doesn’t know Objective-C, and neither do any of the other developers at his company. Other Android developers who know the language don’t like it, saying that it doesn’t have the speed and flexibility of Java.

(*)The walled garden: Apple is tightly controlling what apps end up in its app store. It’s deciding which ones get prime virtual shelf space, and it will set rules about pricing, file size and content (no “Adult” games). On the flip side, Android is completely open -- there are virtually no requirements on what you can or can’t do with Android applications. On Android, the third-party apps have as much power as the phone's core applications, meaning you can build an app that will switch out the home screen, change the style of the dialer, etc.

(*)The money on the table: Google has already given away $1.25 million in first round of the first phase of the Android Developer Challenge. That means that there’s $8.75 million left on the table. The developers we heard from said that they’re busy working on the next round, and while they may think about the iPhone in the future, they’re concentrating on Android -- and the upfront case -- for now.
