Android versus iPhone Development (a comparison)
It's a bit biased towards Java-based Android, but it's still nice because it exposes the obvious flaws that XCode (and Mac development) has since... well, since NeXT. From here:
Android versus iPhone Development: A Comparison
A few months ago I ventured into the world of Mobile development and created an application (Hudson Helper) for both iPhone and Android. This article is about my experiences, comparing Android and iPhone development with a focus on tools, platform and the developer experience.
Before going much further I should note that my comparison is with considerable bias. I’ve spent the past 12+ years in Java development, having spent much of my career building developer tools. Since January of 2004 I’ve been building plug-ins for Eclipse, and before that plug-ins for NetBeans. With this background I find that I’m very critical of developer tools. Developer productivity is key — anything that takes away from the flow of a developer in the zone is a real problem.
