I did Brew and J2ME device development before Android. Believe me, I _feel_ your pain.

Since 2003 I've written BREW, J2ME, Blackberry, a smidgen of iOS, and a metric ton of Android. I now write Android software for a living, first for doubleTwist and now for Tumblr.

comment from the end of the bug: "To all the apple fanboys: the emulator code is open source. Go ahead and fix it yourselves. Apple doesn't provide a multi platform SDK. If I want …

Not sure how relevant a question that is. Apple explicitly chose to be on AT&T and no-one else. I'm sure Verizon would have put their phone on the network, just not on terms Apple …

The conventional wisdom was exactly the same 2 years ago concerning android phones vrs the iPhone. Android has since moved to match the iPhone for market share. The same will proba…

If Google Checkout is any measure, I'm cowering in fear of Google Wallet.

I think I've read this exact article dozens of times since almost since I began writing mobile applications in 2003. The message is always the same 'Web Apps are Coming! They're go…

Android is always a late bloomer. The G1 sorta, for lack of a better word, sucked. Later incarnations of the devices ironed out a lot of the UX issues plaguing the early Android bu…

I bought an iPad thinking I'd be able to access my Kindle books from it. In fact, I bought more books on the Kindle system specifically because I could read and sync them across th…

This article seems light on facts but heavy with opinion. "My sense is Groupon’s popularity and star power has peaked even though sales may continue to grow for awhile..." That's a…

It's times like these that I wrap myself in Google's neglect for the Android marketplace like a warm blanket.

I'm fairly sure the fact remains that you cannot, under any circumstance, give up your rights.

I'd just like to quickly define "Fragmentation" from a developer perspective. "Fragmentation" occurs when I have to write code to support oddities on a specific device. Diversity i…

You're looking for pattern based AR (unless the words on your paper have precise GPS coordinates) I haven't look at it much yet, but you might have some luck with the new Quallcom …
